Region-specific Nucleus Accumbens Dopamine Signals Encode Distinct Aspects of Avoidance Learning

This study investigates how dopamine signals in different nucleus accumbens subregions contribute to avoidance learning by analyzing their responses to aversive stimuli and learning progress.

Chronically elevated corticosterone impairsdopaminergic transmission in the dorsomedialstriatum by sex-divergent mechanisms

This study shows chronic corticosterone impairs reward-seeking in both sexes by sex-specific effects on dopamine content and transporter function in the dorsomedial striatum.

Dopamine Signaling in the Dorsomedial Striatum Promotes Compulsive Behavior

This study shows that dopamine signaling in the dorsomedial striatum controls the development of compulsive reward-seeking behavior.
