The paper shows that dopamine and direct/indirect pathway neurons in the tail of the striatum regulate threat avoidance at different stages of learning.

Opposing glutamatergic MPN Isolation and mostly GABAergic MPN Reunion neurons in the mouse preoptic hypothalamus encode social need and satiety, with touch as a likely cue.

The paper shows glutamate inputs to dopamine neurons signal reward prediction errors but not negative value of aversive stimuli, with opioid analgesics altering negative responses.

This paper shows that dopamine responses shift backward in time during associative learning, aligning with TD prediction error models.
