| Abstract | Serotonin neurotransmission is widely reported as reduced in suicide attempt and completion. Evidence suggests reduced serotonin innervation of the prefrontal cortex and homeostatic upregulation of postsynaptic 5-HT1A and perhaps 5-HT2A receptors in suicide. However, in the brainstem, we have previously found more tryptophan hydroxylase serotonin biosynthetic enzyme and more serotonin in suicide decedents suggesting serotonergic hyperfunction, but also more autoreceptor binding that could result in reduced neuronal firing. We sought evidence of a disconnect between the brainstem and prefrontal cortex examining the serotonin transporter (SERT) and 5-HT1A receptor in the dorsal and median raphe nucleus and SERT, 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor binding in prefrontal cortex and in anterior cingulate cortex postmortem. Suicide decedents (n=11) and controls (n=18) died suddenly minimizing agonal effects and had a postmortem interval ≤ 24 hour. Autoradiography was performed in right hemisphere coronal sections at a pre-genual level and in transverse sections through the brainstem. In controls, there were correlations between DRN and MRN SERT and 5-HT2A receptor binding throughout prefrontal cortex, and between DRN and MRN 5-HT1A receptor binding and medial and ventral prefrontal cortex. In suicide decedents there were no such relationships. The absence of correlations between brainstem source serotonergic neuron function and receptors on target neurons in prefrontal cortex in suicides suggests a disconnect that may contribute to suicide neuropathology. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
