Comparative analysis of functional network dynamics in high and low alcohol preference mice.

Experimental neurology
Individual variability preference is a typical characteristic of alcohol drinking behaviors, with a higher risk for the development of alcohol use disorders (AUDs) in high alcohol preference (HP) populations. Here, we created a map of alcohol-related...

Distinct signals in medial and lateral VTA dopamine neurons modulate fear extinction at different times.

Dopamine (DA) neurons are to encode reward prediction error (RPE), in addition to other signals, such as salience. While RPE is known to support learning, the role of salience in learning remains less clear. To address this, we recorded and manipulat...
