Distinct amygdala-striatal and amygdala-cortical circuits encode and retrieve predictive learning to guide choice and decision-making

Élise Pépin, Billy C. H. Chieng, Nura Lingawi…·Bernard W. Balleine

This study identifies distinct neural circuits for encoding and retrieving predictive learning in decision-making, showing the BLA-IL-NAc-S circuit is required for retrieval while BLA-NAc-S is only needed for encoding.
