This study shows that GABAB receptor/HCN channel complexes in VTA dopamine neurons limit synaptic inhibition and reduce anxiety-like behavior by modulating K+ currents.

The paper identifies ZI subpopulations that encode and modulate different aspects of anxiety through optogenetic manipulations in mice.

This study shows that ZI neurons encode fear predictive and non-predictive cues differently based on fear generalization behavior in mice.

This study identifies midbrain GABA and Glutamate neurons' role in encoding conditioned learning through their synaptic inputs to striatal cholinergic interneurons.
