One of the main targets of the vesicular glutamate transporter type 3 (vGluT3)-expressing median raphe neurons, is the dorsal hippocampus, a key node of the brain’s episodic memory circuit. We uncovered previously that the raphe-hippocampal glutamatergic connection selectively and highly efficiently activates certain types of hippocampal inhibitory neurons at very short latency. However, the function of this powerful inhibition-targeting modulation is still elusive. In this study, we combined the selective tagging of either vGluT3 MR neurons or their hippocampus-projecting subgroup and high-de
