Gain control of sensory input across polysynaptic circuitries in mouse visual cortex by a single G protein-coupled receptor type (5-HT2A).

Nat Commun 15, 8078 (Open Access)

Neuromodulators influence the brain's global state and therefore all processing streams. In this study we show how a specific serotonin receptor (5-HT2A) controls gain of visual input without affecting ongoing brain broadcasts.
