Abstract: Monoaminergic modulation of cortical and thalamic inputs to the dorsal striatum (DS) is crucial for reward-based learning and action control. While dopamine has been extensively investigated in this context, the synaptic effects of serotonin (5-HT)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2018.04.037
Abstract: In this issue of Neuron, Cavaccini et al. (2018) identify and thoroughly describe a previously unknown role for hyper-localized serotonergic signaling in the modulation of striatal projection neuron plasticity using electrophysiological, chemogenetic, and optogenetic approaches in… read more here.
