This study examines how ADGRL3 knockout affects dopamine release in mice, finding increased ex vivo release and reduced in vivo task-induced signals in the nucleus accumbens.

The paper shows that sound-safety association enhances striatal neuron responses to learned sounds through postsynaptic changes in direct pathway SPNs.

The paper investigates how tonic activity patterns affect dopamine release in striatal brain slices, finding that tonic stimulation alters DA release kinetics to resemble in vivo conditions.

The paper presents three computational models to analyze fast-scan cyclic voltammetry data from mice, quantifying presynaptic dopamine kinetics and the role of synucleins in neurotransmission.

The paper shows that specific prefrontal cortex cells control running behavior during food restriction, revealing a causal role in energy conservation decisions.
