JAMA 296:2124-2132,2143, Paterson,D.S.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Medullary 5-HT pathology in SIDS is more extensive than previously delineated, potentially including abnormal 5-HT neuron firing, synthesis, release, and clearance. This study also provides preliminary neurochemical evidence that may help explain the increased vulnerability of boys to SIDS.
