Long-Term Neurodevelopmental Risks in Children Exposed in Utero to Cocaine: The Toronto Adoption Studya.

abstract：:Astrocytes and serotoninergic neurons play a role in central nervous system (CNS) development, probably through serotonin (5HT) stimulation of the glial 5HT(1A) receptor. Activation of 5HT(1A) receptors causes the release of S-100 beta, a glial derived growth factor. In vitro, astrocytes are profoundly altered by chro...
