Serotonin: Waiting but Not Rewarding

A new study in mice demonstrates that stimulating dorsal raphe serotonin boosts patient waiting but stimulation itself is not rewarding. Dorsal raphe serotonin’s unique contribution provides a neural locus for impulsivity and related failures of patience. A new study in mice demonstrates that stimul...
