Dynamics of dopamine transients in human olfactory epithelium during reward learning

This study measures fast dopamine transients in human olfactory epithelium during reward learning tasks and finds they shift from outcomes to cues, matching prediction error signals.

Dopamine and serotonin transients predict depressive symptom relief following deep brain stimulation of human subcallosal cingulate cortex

This paper shows that dopamine and serotonin changes during deep brain stimulation predict symptom relief in treatment-resistant depression.

Distinct mediodorsal-prefrontal loops differentially encode reward-predictive cues

The paper identifies distinct MD-PFC neural circuits that differentially encode reward-predictive cues in mice during learning and extinction.
