Developmental vitamin A deficiency induces sex-specific reward processing alterations through a dysregulation of the mesolimbic dopamine transmission in mice

This study shows that developmental vitamin A deficiency causes sex-specific changes in reward processing in adult mice by altering mesolimbic dopamine transmission.

A role for prefrontal dopamine signaling in control of goal-directed actions

This study shows that dopamine signaling in the medial prefrontal cortex encodes action value during reversal learning through D1/NMDA and D2/NMDA receptor heteromers.

Nucleus accumbens D1- and D2-expressing neurons control the balance between feeding and activity-mediated energy expenditure

This study investigates the role of NAc D1 and D2 neurons in balancing feeding and exercise-mediated energy expenditure in mice, finding that manipulating these neurons affects energy balance and weight.
