I've just created the Bluesky Serotonin starter pack but I did not find many people. Poke me if you are part of the crew!
I'll start by resharing this short piece written in 2023.

Serotonin
In this primer, Ligneul and Mainen delve into the multifaceted nature of the brain’s serotonin system, detailing essential characteristics of serotonin signaling, its critical role in behavior regulation, its contribution to mental health and diseases, and its evolutionary significance.

Neuroscience textbooks can be prohibitively expensive for some undergraduate students. A new open-access alternative seeks to change that. @franciscorr25.bsky.social sat down for a Q&A with @thekirbylab.bsky.social to discuss open-access neuroscience in the classroom.

Really nice to see so many members of the neuroscience community leave X to join Bluesky 🥳
This self-organized worldwide digital migration gives me hope!
