Anatomically Defined and Functionally Distinct Dorsal Raphe Serotonin Sub-systems
Open accessAbstract
Summary The dorsal raphe (DR) constitutes a major serotonergic input to the forebrain and modulates diverse functions and brain states including mood, anxiety, and sensory and motor functions. Most functional studies to date have treated DR serotonin neurons as a single population. Using viral-genetic methods, we found that subcortical- and cortical-projecting serotonin neurons have distinct cell body distributions within the DR and differentially co-express a vesicular glutamate transporter. Further, amygdala- and frontal cortex-projecting DR serotonin neurons have largely complementary whole-brain collateralization patterns, receive biased inputs from presynaptic partners, and exhibit opposite responses to aversive stimuli. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments suggest that amygdala-projecting DR serotonin neurons promote anxiety-like behavior, whereas frontal cortex-projecting neurons promote active coping in the face of challenge. These results provide compelling evidence that the DR serotonin system contains parallel sub-systems that differ in input and output connectivity, physiological response properties, and behavioral functions.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
The dorsal raphe (DR) serotonin system contains anatomically and functionally distinct sub-systems, with cortical- and subcortical-projecting neurons differing in location, Vglut3 co-expression, collateralization, inputs, physiological responses, and behavior. Amygdala-projecting DR serotonin neurons promote anxiety-like behavior, whereas frontal cortex-projecting neurons promote active coping.
Key findings
- DR serotonin neurons projecting to subcortical regions localized more dorsally, while olfactory bulb and cortical-projecting neurons localized more ventrally; the subcortical and anterior cortical clusters overlapped by 17.4% and 39.6% of their volumes, respectively. Vglut3&Tph2 neurons overlapped 66%±0.6% with the anterior cortical cluster but only 19%±1.1% with the subcortical cluster.
- OFC- and CeA-projecting DR serotonin neurons showed largely complementary whole-brain collateralization patterns; many known DR targets were innervated by neither subpopulation. cTRIO input mapping found starter cells were predominantly serotonin neurons (97%±2% for OFC-projecting, 94%±4% for CeA-projecting), with OFC-projecting neurons receiving proportionally more input from lateral hypothalamus, lateral habenula, and most medulla nuclei, while CeA-projecting neurons received more input from CeA, BNST, PVH, and nucleus of the solitary tract.
- Both OFC- and CeA-projecting DR serotonin neurons were activated by reward, but OFC-projecting neurons showed significant pre-lever-press ramping compared with CeA-projecting neurons. To foot-shock, all 7 OFC-projecting mice showed long-lasting Ca2+ reduction, whereas all 8 CeA-projecting mice showed transient elevation.
- Chemogenetic activation of either OFC- or CeA-projecting neurons decreased locomotion. CeA-projecting neuron activation promoted anxiety-like behavior and Tph2 depletion was anxiolytic; OFC-projecting neuron Tph2 depletion enhanced anxiety-like behavior. OFC-projecting neuron activation enhanced escape behavior in the forced-swim test, and Tph2 deletion increased immobility; CeA-projecting neuron activation did not affect immobility, while Tph2 depletion reduced it.
Methods
- Viral-genetic retrograde tracing combined with Tph2/Vglut3 staining and registration to the Allen reference brain was used to map cell-body distributions of DR serotonin neurons projecting to eight target regions (PVH, CeA, LHb, dLGN, OB, OFC, PIR, ENT; n=4 per region).
- iDISCO+ whole-brain clearing and light-sheet imaging mapped collateralization of OFC- and CeA-projecting DR serotonin neurons; cTRIO rabies tracing identified monosynaptic inputs to these subpopulations.
- Fiber photometry with GCaMP6m recorded reward and foot-shock responses; gain- and loss-of-function experiments used hM3Dq chemogenetic activation and conditional Tph2 knockout, followed by open field, elevated plus maze, auditory fear conditioning, and forced-swim tests.
Limitations
- Stated: dual-color retrograde tracing had low co-labeling efficiency, preventing strong conclusions about individual DR serotonin neurons targeting multiple areas; subdivisions are not absolute, and each characterized sub-system may still be heterogeneous, with DRSert→OB possibly better described by a two-cluster model.
- Stated: Tph2 depletion is irreversible and compensatory circuit changes may occur before behavioral testing, so it may not reveal the full function of serotonin release; a small fraction of OFC- and CeA-projecting Tph2+ neurons came from median raphe, which may contribute to loss-of-function phenotypes.
- Stated: CeA-projecting Tph2 depletion’s forced-swim effect cannot be ruled out as secondary to movement; cTRIO counts did not adjust for possible double counting across consecutive sections and may underestimate posterior thalamic subregions. Evident from the text: fiber photometry during the manipulated behaviors was technically difficult, and many DR targets were not innervated by either OFC- or CeA-projecting subpopulation, implying additional uncharacterized sub-systems.

“Together with our study on the projection-defined serotonin sub-systems (Ren et al., 2018), we believe it is unlikely that the major function of the forebrain-projecting serotonin system is to broadcast information non-discriminately.”

“Functional differences exist between projection-defined subpopulations of DRN 5-HT neurons (Ren et al., 2018), but it is unknown if these subpopulations map onto molecularly defined subtypes.”

“Consistent with previous reports (Ren et al., 2018; Waterhouse et al., 1986), we found that most subcortical-projecting neurons were located in the dorsal DRN, whereas most cortical-projecting neurons were located in the ventral DRN.”

“It has been reported that cortical-projecting subpopulations of DRN 5-HT neurons express Slc17a8, in agreement with the extensive overlap between the spatial distribution of cortical-projecting neurons and Slc17a8 expression (Ren et al., 2018).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
