Now online! Architecture of the serotonergic projectome in the mouse brain

Architecture of the serotonergic projectome in the mouse brain
Serotonin neurons innervate nearly the entire mammalian brain, yet how their projections are organized has remained unclear. Systematic whole-brain serotonergic axon collateralization mapping reveals five projectomic groups that preferentially target functionally related regions, with each projectomic group connecting to specific spatial transcriptomic and behavioral profiles.

Just approved an order for standard lab consumables. Prices have nearly doubled since starting the lab. Meanwhile, the bar for publishing keeps rising, requiring ever more costly experiments, while grant budgets barely changed. Hard to see how this is a sustainable trajectory for academic research.
