Serotonergic Modulation of Locomotor Activity From Basal Vertebrates to Mammals
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2020 During the last 50 years, the serotonergic (5-HT) system was reported to exert a complex modulation of locomotor activity. Here, we focus on two key factors that likely contribute to such complexity. First, locomotion is modulated directly and indirectly
