Key Finding
The authors integrated a genetically guided TRAP2 strategy with single-cell Ca 2+ image and found that activity dynamics of serotonin receptor 2c (Htr2c)-expressing neurons in the prelimbic cortical layer 5 encode high social states. Gain- and loss-of function studies demonstrated that this projection specifically processes socially conveyed information.
Countstar Connection
Countstar (model not specified) quantified cell measurements in cell suspensions before single-cell analysis in the 2025 Science advances study.
