Dissociable control of persistence and adaptive updating in reward-guided behavior

Pratheba Kandasamey, Anaïs Bouchat, Ladina Odermatt, Edward F. Bracey, Denis Burdakov, Daria Peleg‐Raibstein

This study investigates how the MCH system influences persistence and adaptive updating in reward-guided behavior using touchscreen tasks in rodents.

Melanin-concentrating hormone signaling regulates persistence and updating of reward-guided actions

Pratheba Kandasamey, Cristina Concetti, JULIE BURKHARDT, Edward F. Bracey, Denis Burdakov, Daria Peleg‐Raibstein

This study shows that MCH signaling influences how reward-guided behavior persists or updates when contingencies change, with MCHR1 blockade reducing perseveration and speeding adaptation.

Melanin-concentrating hormone signaling regulates prefrontal updating of learned avoidance

Pratheba Kandasamey, Edward F. Bracey, Ladina Odermatt, Denis Burdakov, Daria Peleg‐Raibstein

This study shows that blocking MCHR1 receptors in the prefrontal cortex helps mice stop responding to outdated warning signals while maintaining their ability to learn from danger.
