Description
Serotonin 2A receptor (5-HT2AR) levels are decreased in the brains of schizophrenia patients. This phenomenon is modeled in mice that lack the transcription factor Egr3. The head-twitch response (HTR) is a behavioral assay used to assess the physiological function of 5-HT2ARs. However, current quantification methods are time consuming and prone to inter-rater variability. Here, we demonstrate the validity and reliability of an automated head-twitch system to quantify HTRs of Egr3-/- mice.
