Moreover, upstream elements—including interactions with GATA factors—help restrict FEV expression to serotonin neurons, thereby establishing a primary genetic cascade for proper serotonergic development."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "5"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nSubsequent research reveals that Pet‑1’s function extends well beyond initial cell‐fate determination.
