Congratulations to the 2013 Conte Pilot Grantees
and the students in our Conte SURE Program
Enduring Impact of Early-Life Serotonin Signaling
The NIMH/Vanderbilt Silvio O. Conte Center for Neuroscience Research, established through funding from the National Institute of Mental Health and the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, supports research and training to elucidate gene, protein and cellular networks through which serotonin (5-HT) modulates brain development, signaling, plasticity and mental illness.
The Conte Center currently supports the projects of four internationally recognized investigators at Vanderbilt, University of Southern California and Case Western Universities, as well as the pilot investigations of three junior investigators. Core laboratories offer state of the art technologies and research support to facilitate interactions among Conte investigators, program consultants and collaborators.
Established in 2008, the Vanderbilt/NIMH Silvio O. Conte Center for Neuroscience research first studied Genes Controlling Assembly and Function of Serotonin Systems.

Now in its second cycle, Enduring Effects of Early-Life Serotonin Signaling, the Conte Center Investigators will explore the theory that tight control of developmental determinants of serotonin signaling is required to achieve normal patterns of behavioral flexibility and to minimize the risk for life-long neuropsychiatric disorders.
