A novel hypothalamic-midbrain circuit for model-based learning

Ivy B. Hoang, Joseph J. Munier, Anna Verghese, Zara Greer, Samuel J. Millard, Lauren E. DiFazio, Courtney Sercander, Alicia Izquierdo, Melissa J. Sharpe

This paper identifies a novel hypothalamic-midbrain circuit that supports model-based learning and shows its alteration in methamphetamine use.

The cognitive basis of intracranial self-stimulation of midbrain dopamine neurons

Samuel J. Millard, Ivy B. Hoang, Zara Greer, Shayna L. O’Connor, Kate M. Wassum, Morgan H. James, David J. Barker, Melissa J. Sharpe

The paper shows dopamine neurons support intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) only at supraphysiological frequencies, not reflecting their role in reinforcement learning.

"Learning in reverse: Dopamine errors drive excitatory and inhibitory components of backward conditioning in an outcome-specific manner".

Benjamin M. Seitz, Ivy B. Hoang, Aaron P. Blaisdell, Melissa J. Sharpe

This paper investigates whether dopamine signals are involved in backward conditioning, showing that optogenetic inhibition of VTADA neurons disrupts both excitatory and inhibitory components of this learning.
