Activation of serotonin neurons promotes active persistence in a probabilistic foraging task

Serotonin (5-HT) has been suggested to promote waiting through behavioral inhibition. Here, the authors use an active foraging task and optogenetic activation of 5-HT neurons to show that rather than passivity, these neurons enhance persistence in the face of delay.
