This study shows that the ovarian hormonal state at the start of voluntary wheel running in female rats affects both initial and long-term exercise behavior, with dopamine signaling in the nigrostriatal circuit playing a key role.

The paper shows that ovarian hormone levels during fear extinction affect fear relapse via the nigrostriatal dopamine pathway in female rats.

This study investigates the role of dopamine in fear extinction by testing the effects of pharmacological manipulations in specific dorsal striatum subregions on fear renewal.
