Serotonergic Regulation of Photic Signaling of Ascorbate in the Rat Thalamus.
Article in Molecular neurobiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Ascorbate, a potent reducing agent highly concentrated in the brain, prevents neuronal oxidative damage and functions as a neuromodulator. Disrupted ascorbate homeostasis has been linked to neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. However, the in vivo mechanisms regulating brain ascorbate levels remain largely unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that serotonin and photic signaling jointly modulate extracellular ascorbate levels in the rat brain. Using in vivo microdialysis, we observed circadian rhythms in both serotonin metabolites and ascorbate levels in the thalamus of freely moving rats. Ascorbate exhibited marked photosensitivity, decreasing under light exposure and recovering in darkness. Serotonin depletion disrupted these circadian rhythms and abolished ascorbate's photosensitivity. These findings suggest that brain ascorbate dynamics are regulated by both serotonergic activity and environmental light, highlighting a novel interplay between neural signaling and redox systems in the thalamus.
