The paper examines how social reward behaviors relate to dopamine release patterns in male and female mice, finding sex-dependent differences in phasic and tonic dopamine responses.

This study compares the effects of indirect and direct cannabinoid agonists on mesolimbic dopamine release and behaviors in mice, finding no abuse-related behaviors but suggesting direct CB1R agonism affects dopamine function more.

The paper investigates how dopamine release dynamics in the nucleus accumbens shell correlate with risky decision-making in rats, finding elevated dopamine sensitivity in risk-taking individuals.

This study investigates cerebellar modulation of mesolimbic dopamine transmission and finds asymmetric dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens when stimulated via the cerebellar dentate nucleus.
