The role of serotonin in cerebellar development.

Highlights: [•] This review describes the role of serotonin (5-HT) in the developing cerebellum. [•] 5-HT has a powerful regulatory role in the physiology of the developing cerebellum. [•] 5-HT receptors have temporally and spatially restricted expression patterns. [•] 5-HT regulates development in three phases: growth, maturation and stabilization. [•] 5-HT may be involved in the manifestation of neurodevelopmental disorders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
