Two eARCHT3.0 Lines for Optogenetic Silencing of Dopaminergic and Serotonergic Neurons
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2019 Dopaminergic and serotonergic neurons modulate and control processes ranging from reward signaling to regulation of motor outputs. Further, dysfunction of these neurons is involved in both degenerative and psychiatric disorders.

Characterization of the Sexually Dimorphic fruitless Neurons That Regulate Copulation Duration
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Male courtship in Drosophila melanogaster is a sexually dimorphic innate behavior that is hardwired in the nervous system. Understanding the neural mechanism of courtship behavior requires the anatomical and functional characterization of all the neurons

Synaptic activity in serotonergic neurons is required for air-puff stimulated flight in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Flight is an integral component of many complex behavioral patterns in insects. The giant fiber circuit has been well studied in several insects including Drosophila.

An experimental platform for stochastic analyses of single serotonergic fibers in the mouse brain
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 The self-organization of the serotonergic matrix, a massive axon meshwork in all vertebrate brains, is driven by the structural and dynamical properties of its constitutive elements.

Molecular biology of serotonergic systems in avian brains
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2023 Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a phylogenetically conserved neurotransmitter and modulator. Neurons utilizing serotonin have been identified in the central nervous systems of all vertebrates.

Generation of Pet1210-Cre transgenic mouse line reveals non-serotonergic expression domains of Pet1 both in CNS and periphery. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Neurons producing serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) constitute one of the most widely distributed neuronal networks in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) and exhibit a profuse innervation throughout the CNS already at early stages of ...
