Is there any virus promoter that could target serotonin neurons?

I want to target the serotonin neurons in dorsal raphe nucleus. So I ask if there is any virus promoter that enables me to target them instead of using SERT::Cre.

William M Connelly

Unfortunately, there is none that I know of. Also, SERT:Cre might not be the ideal like. Look into ePet-Cre.

Why doesn't chromium 2+ ion use all its d-orbitals to receive lone pairs from six waters in [Cr(H20)6)]3+?

I'm guessing it's because the ligand experiences too much electron repulsion or proton repulsion from the chromium to insert them close to the 3d-orbitals which are close to the metal nucleus. Is...
