Multiplexing of functionally distinct inputs by intrinsic modulation of spike timing in a monoaminergic nucleus.

This work shows that DRN 5-HT neurons exhibit separable spiking representations of two major excitatory inputs-those from the lateral habenula and the medial prefrontal cortex and confirms that this emergent population spike synchrony code provides a means for the DRN to widely broadcast these streams as a multiplexed...
