Medial Prefrontal Cortex Interacts with the Anteromedial Thalamus in Motivation and Dopaminergic Activity

Yang Chen, Yuzheng Hu, Aleksandr Talishinsky, Christian T. Potter, Leslie A. Ramsey, Andrew J. Kesner, Reuben F. Don, Sue Junn, Aaron Tan, Anne F. Pierce, Céline Nicolas, Coleman B. Calva, Conghui Su, Carlos A. Mejías-Aponte, Dong V. Wang, , Satoshi Ikemoto

The paper identifies a cortico-thalamic loop between the medial prefrontal cortex and anteromedial thalamus that regulates motivation, reinforcement, and dopaminergic activity through reciprocal connectivity and feedback.
