LP211 is an agonist of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) receptor 7 (5-HT7). It is proposed for a role in neurogenesis and in patho-physiological processes like anxiety / depression, cognitive / sleep disturbances, and impaired coping with stress. Here, we investigated the long-term consequences of developmental exposure to LP211 on brain metabolism (by in vivo 1H MRS), anatomy (by DTI) and functionality (by functional connectivity). We detect enduring metabolic, anatomic and functional modifications which may perhaps indicate rearrangement in forebrain networks.
