Serotonin Inhibition of Claustrum Projection Neurons: Ionic Mechanism, Receptor Subtypes and Consequences for Claustrum Computation

The claustrum is a small but densely interconnected brain structure that is innervated by axons containing serotonin (5-HT), a neuromodulator that has been implicated in control of sleep and in the actions of copyright drugs.However, little is known about how 5-HT influences the claustrum.We have combined whole-cell patch-clamp measurements of ioni
