Seeing and measuring the action of neuromodulation—a major type of neuronal communication essential for arousal, stress, attention, reward, and locomotion—is the first step toward understanding it. Ma, Jongbloets, Xiong, et al. demonstrate in vivo visualization of neuromodulatory signaling activity of the cAMP-dependent kinase pathway with single-cell resolution in behaving mice.
