SummaryThe 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, homogeneous population. Using viral-genetic methods, we found that subcortical-vs. cortical-projecting serotonin neurons have distinct cell body distributions within the DR and different degrees of coexpressing a vesicular glutamate transporter. Further, the 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 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.
