We propose that a circuit-based approach taking into account the localization of specific 5-HT receptors on neurochemically-defined neurons in the BLA may be essential to decipher the role of 5-HT in emotional behavior.

The review proposes that a circuit-based approach considering localization of specific 5-HT receptors on neurochemically defined neurons in the basolateral amygdala is essential for deciphering serotonin's role in emotional behavior.
The review summarizes electrophysiological evidence suggesting that serotonin regulates synaptic plasticity, spike synchrony, and theta oscillations in the basolateral amygdala.
The review states that the impact of serotonin on fear processing remains poorly understood.
