Schematic overview of the study: validation of [11C]DASB-PET using groups of Slc6a4+/+, Slc6a4+/−, and Slc6a4−/ mice (part A) and investigation of the effects of a chronic CORT paradigm on SERT density as measured by [11C]DASB-PET and western blot, as well as depression-like behavior (part B). [11C]DASB [11C]-3-amino-4-(2-dimethylaminomethyl-phenylsulfanyl)-benzonitrile, PET positron emission tomography, Slc6a4/SERT serotonin transporter, NSF novelty-suppressed feeding test, CORT corticosterone treatment, CTRL control/vehicle treatment
