Serotonin is a neuromodulator that is implicated in awakesleep cycle, motor behaviors, reward, motivation, and mood. Recent molecular tools for cell-type-specific activity recording and manipulation with fine temporal and spatial resolutions are providing unprecedentedly detailed data about serotonergic neuromodulation. These newly gained information show substantial differences in the signaling and effect of serotonergic neuromodulation depending on the projection targets. To find the common
