Both expected and unexpected rewards activate DRN serotonin neurons in behaving mice.

Both expected and unexpected rewards activate 5-HT neurons.
In behaving mice, rewards including sucrose, food, sex, and social interaction rapidly activate DRN serotonin neurons, whereas aversive stimuli including quinine and footshock do not.

DRN serotonin neurons positively encode a wide range of reward signals during anticipatory and consummatory phases of reward responses, and DRN GABA neurons play a complementary role in reward processing.

Thus, DRN 5-HT neurons positively encode a wide range of reward signals during anticipatory and consummatory phases of reward responses. Moreover, GABA neurons play a complementary role in reward processing.
After mice learn to wait for sucrose delivery, most DRN serotonin neurons fire tonically during waiting and phasically on reward acquisition.
