Reward and choice encoding in terminals of midbrain dopamine neurons depends on striatal target
Dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the midbrain provide rich topographic innervation of the striatum
and are central to learning and to generating actions. Despite the importance of this DA …

[PDF][PDF] Combined social and spatial coding in a descending projection from the prefrontal cortex
Social behaviors are crucial to all mammals. Although the prelimbic cortex (PL, part of medial
prefrontal cortex) has been implicated in social behavior, it is not clear which neurons are …

A neural substrate of sex-dependent modulation of motivation
While there is emerging evidence of sex differences in decision-making behavior, the neural
substrates that underlie such differences remain largely unknown. Here we demonstrate …

[PDF][PDF] Choice-selective sequences dominate in cortical relative to thalamic inputs to NAc to support reinforcement learning
How are actions linked with subsequent outcomes to guide choices? The nucleus accumbens,
which is implicated in this process, receives glutamatergic inputs from the prelimbic …

Reward prediction error does not explain movement selectivity in DMS-projecting dopamine neurons
10.7554/eLife.42992.001 Although midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons have been thought to
primarily encode reward prediction error (RPE), recent studies have also found movement-…

[PDF][PDF] Choice-selective sequences dominate in cortical relative to thalamic inputs to NAc, providing a potential substrate for credit assignment
Multiple lines of experimental evidence indicate that the NAc (part of the ventral striatum) is
critical to reward-based learning and decision making(Cox and Witten, 2019; Di Ciano et al.…
