Fev is an ETS transcription factor essential for the generation of serotonin neurons. This study reports that ongoing Fev-directed transcription is required at different stages of life for multiple regulatory events that shape and maintain the serotonergic system. Furthermore, behavioral alterations can result from adult-onset perturbation of serotonergic transcription.
