abstract = {Neurobiological evidence implicates the amygdala as well as
serotonergic (serotonin, 5-HT) signaling via postsynaptic
5-HT(2A) receptors as essential substrates of anxiety
behaviors. Assuming a functional interdependence of these
substrates, we hypothesized that a low-fear behavioral
phenotype due to bilateral lesion of the amygdala would be
associated with significant 5-HT(2A) receptor changes. Thus,
we used [(18)F]altanserin positron emission tomography (PET)
referenced to radioligand plasma levels and corrected for
partial volume effects to quantify the spatial distribution
of 5-HT(2A) receptor binding potential (BP(P)) in a rare
patient with Urbach-Wiethe disease and selective bilateral
amygdala calcification damage relative to 10 healthy control
subjects. Consistent with our a priori hypothesis, we
observed a $70\%$ global decrease in 5-HT(2A) receptor BP(P)
in the Urbach-Wiethe patient relative to controls. Thus,
brain abnormalities in this patient are not restricted to
the amygdala, but extend to overall 5-HT neurotransmission
via 5-HT(2A) receptors. Our findings provide important
insights into the molecular architecture of human anxiety
behaviors and suggest the 5-HT(2A) receptor as a promising
pharmacological target to control pathological anxiety.},
