Another recent investigation by Jones and coworkers [42] showed that offspring of both 5-Htt +/− and WT dams stressed during pregnancy showed signs of decreased anxiety in the elevated plus maze (increased time spent in the open arms; as compared to control offspring), whereas, at the same time, maternal stress exposure increased anxiety-like behavior in the open field test (reduced time spent in the centre) in offspring from WT mothers only. Here, SLC6A4 is linked to Anxiety.
