Abstract

The function of serotonin in the mammalian brain has been challenging to unravel. In this issue of Neuron, Paquelet et al. (2022) employ microendoscopy to record over 2,000 dorsal raphe serotonin neurons, yielding new insights into their activity from the single neuron to the population level.
