Chemogenetic inhibition of the noradrenergic locus coeruleus promotes the development of risk-taking decisional strategies and selectively enhances motor impulsivity in females

Chloe S. Chernoff, Tristan J. Hynes, Dimitrios K. Avramidis, Shrishti Ramaiah, Amanda C. Lee, Aryan Khoshnevis, Kelly M. Hrelja, Catharine A. Winstanley

This study shows that inhibiting LC-NA neurons accelerates risk-taking decision strategies and enhances motor impulsivity in female rats during a gambling task.

Accumbal cholinergic interneurons regulate decision making or motor impulsivity depending on latent task state

Tristan J. Hynes, Chloe S. Chernoff, Kelly M. Hrelja, Andrew Li, Graeme D. Betts, Lucas S. Calderhead, Catharine A. Winstanley

This study investigates how accumbal cholinergic interneurons (aCINs) influence decision making and motor impulsivity in the rat gambling task, showing sex-specific effects based on task state.
