This study investigates the role of the mOFC-BLA circuit in reward-related decision making in rats, finding distinct functions for bidirectional connections in processing reward cues and their desirability.

This paper identifies a bidirectional corticoamygdala circuit that encodes and retrieves detailed reward memories in rats, showing its role in adaptive decision making.

The paper identifies distinct cortical-amygdala projections that separately encode and retrieve reward value, revealing a new circuit for reward valuation and pursuit.

This study shows that NAc cholinergic interneurons inhibit cue-motivated behavior in rats through acetylcholine release and nicotinic receptor activation.

This study shows that HDAC3 negatively regulates habit formation in the dorsal striatum, with distinct roles in the dorsolateral and dorsomedial striatum.
