Scientists have studied the main source of serotonin in the brain -- the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN). By studying how activating the brain's 'serotonin center' affects awake animals for the first time, they found that serotonin from the DRN activates brain areas that affect behavior and motivation. Results show that DRN serotonin stimulation causes activation of the cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia, brain areas involved in many cognitive functions.

Scientists use machine intelligence to accelerate brain mapping technique ANI | Updated: Dec 20, 2020 14:44 IST Okinawa [Japan], December 20 (ANI): A study by Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) Graduate University shows a new use of technology to hasten brain mapping technique. In recent research published in Scientific Reports, researchers used the technique to untangle the human brain's wiring to better understand the changes that accompany neurological or mental disorders such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease. Professor Kenji Doya,...
