This study shows that dopamine signals in the nucleus accumbens reflect dynamic representation learning during adaptive decision-making in mice.

The paper investigates how mice generate self-initiated goal-directed choices through interactions between the ventral tegmental area, prefrontal cortex, and orbitofrontal cortex.

This study shows chronic nicotine exposure shifts decision-making strategies toward increased exploitation in a foraging task, with optogenetic manipulation of dopamine neurons replicating this effect.

This study shows mice generate choice variability in a deterministic task through memory-free, pseudo-random selection rather than learning complex sequences.
