Learning dynamically regulates stimulus discrimination of ventral striatal D1 receptor expressing neurons

Tierney B. Daw, Jiayi Cao, R Li, Sotiris C. Masmanidis

This study shows that D1 medium spiny neurons in the ventral striatum show increased selectivity for reward-paired cues during learning, while D2 neurons show less change, indicating a dynamic role for D1 neurons in stimulus discrimination.
