In a recent study, Kitt, Tabuchi, and colleagues unveiled a novel function of an early-stage transcriptional network to maintain the adult integrity of serotonergic connectivity. Reported axonal and synaptic morphological alterations in serotonin (5-HT) neurons after selective inactivation of Lmx1b/Pet1 transcriptional networks may help to understand aging and neurodegenerative processes.
