Systems neuroscience: Foraging through serotonin's tangled web

Curr Biol. 2023 Jul 24;33(14):R767-R770. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2023.06.030.

Abstract

Serotonin signaling is conserved in regulating animal behaviors. A new paper decodes the nonlinear effects of all serotonin receptor combinations on foraging behaviors. The authors introduce a brain-wide multiscale method to dissect receptor dynamics, receptor effects on neural activity, and resulting behavioral changes.
