This study investigates the role of dopamine D2 receptors in coordinating acetylcholine and dopamine signals in the striatum during reward-related behaviors and finds that D2Rs regulate the timing and magnitude of acetylcholine dips.

This study shows that dopamine D2 receptors in cholinergic interneurons modulate the pause in neuronal activity and impair inhibitory learning in a Go/No-Go task.
