Optical activation of midbrain dopamine neurons: do high and low stimulation frequencies produce functionally different effects?

Jacques Voisard, Marie‐Pierre Cossette, Andreas Arvanitogiannis, Peter Shizgal

The paper investigates whether 20- and 50-Hz optical stimulation of midbrain dopamine neurons produce functionally distinct effects, finding that differences are quantitative rather than qualitative and related to reward intensity.

Does phasic dopamine release cause policy updates?

Francis Carter, Marie‐Pierre Cossette, Ivan Trujillo‐Pisanty, Vasilios Pallikaras, Yannick-André Breton, Kent L. Conover, Jill Caplan, Pavel Solis, Jacques Voisard, Alexandra Yaksich, Peter Shizgal

This study challenges the idea that phasic dopamine release directly causes policy updates by showing stable work rates in rats despite repeated dopamine stimulation.
