In the discussion the authors state that the ability of adult serotonergic axons to undergo active sprouting has been described solely in response to physical lesions of brain . In fact this overlooks a series of studies that examined the regeneration of serotonin fibers in adult rat dorsomedial hypothalamus following the neurotoxin 5,7-DHT at the LM (Frankfurt and Azmitia 1983 ) and EM level (Frankfurt and Beaudet, 1987, 1988). Regardless of whether the authors may be referring to collateral sprouting of intact fibers rather than regeneration it seems relevant.
Competing Interests: None declared.
