A subset of monoamine neurons releases glutamate as a cotransmitter due to specific expression of the vesicular glutamate transporters VGLUT2 or VGLUT3. In addition to mediating fast synaptic excitation, it has been proposed that VGLUT3 enhances serotonin (5-HT) vesicular loading by the vesicular mo...
