The paper investigates how context coding in the mouse nucleus accumbens modulates motivationally relevant information during a task, finding value-independent coding for context cues.

This study characterizes rhythmic spiking activity in rat ventral striatal neurons across frequencies and cell types, revealing dynamic spike-field relationships and inter-area coupling.

This study shows that rat nucleus accumbens encodes cue identity, location, and expected outcome simultaneously, with this coding persisting through decision and outcome phases.

The paper identifies the piriform cortex as the origin of gamma oscillations in the rat ventral striatum, showing that local circuitry in the ventral striatum is not the primary driver.
