What is Shin Et Al., 2019 - Hippocampal Activation of 5 HT1B Receptors and BDNF Production by Vagus Nerve - Eur J of Neuroscience about?

The document investigates the effects of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) on hippocampal activation of 5-HT1B receptors and BDNF production in rats under chronic restraint stress. It finds that chronic VNS increased 5-HT1B receptors and phospho-Erk1/2 levels in the hippocampus, and upregulated hippocampal BDNF production. VNS also improved depressive-like behaviors in forced swimming tests. The effects of VNS were diminished by injection of 5,7-DHT, a neurotoxin of serotonergic neurons.
