Serotonin 2C receptors in the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala mediate the anxiogenic effect caused by the stimulation of serotonergic neurons in the dorsal raphe dorsomedial subnucleus. The dorsal raphe caudal subnucleus regulates anxiety- and panic-like behaviors, presumably by a serotonin 1A receptor-independent mechanism.
