Medial Prefrontal Cortex Serotonin Input Regulates Cognitive Flexibility in Mice

This study shows that serotonin release from dorsal raphe-to-mPFC neurons modulates cognitive flexibility in mice by enhancing extradimensional rule shift performance.

Tianeptine, but not fluoxetine, decreases avoidant behavior in a mouse model of early developmental exposure to fluoxetine

This study shows that tianeptine, but not fluoxetine, reduces avoidant behavior in mice prenatally exposed to fluoxetine, suggesting it may be a better treatment for altered serotonergic systems.

Substantia nigra dopamine neurons evoke a delayed excitation in lateral dorsal striatal cholinergic interneurons via glutamate cotransmission

The paper shows that SN dopamine neurons use different receptors in different dStr subregions to send distinct signals to cholinergic interneurons and spiny projection neurons.
