The Central Nucleus of the Amygdala Encodes the Motivation to Pursue Ethanol

This study investigates how CeA neurons encode motivation for ethanol and natural rewards, finding that neural responses to cues predict engagement and action vigor.

Rapid emergence of latent knowledge in the sensory cortex drives learning

This paper investigates how the auditory cortex drives rapid learning and slower performance improvements in mice during an auditory go/no-go task, revealing two distinct higher-order signals involved in these processes.

Encoding and context-dependent control of reward consumption within the central nucleus of the amygdala

This study investigates how the central amygdala encodes and controls reward consumption in rats, showing that optogenetic stimulation enhances intake of preferred rewards but not less-preferred ones.
