This study investigates the role of BLA projections in DS- and CS-guided reward seeking, finding that BLA[->]PrL projections suppress motivational value of reward-associated cues.

This study introduces a procedure to compare reward-seeking behavior induced by discriminative and conditioned stimuli in rats, finding sex-specific differences in their effects.

The paper demonstrates that activation of mGlu2/3 receptors in the basolateral amygdala inhibits reward seeking triggered by discriminative stimuli in rats.
