This study identifies an anterior hypothalamic circuit that modulates stress vulnerability by integrating valence signals from the amygdala.

The paper investigates how stress-induced plasticity in the amygdala and ventral hippocampus differentially supports non-associative defensive behaviors.

This study shows that dopamine release patterns in the dorsal striatum differ between medial and lateral regions during learning, challenging classic reinforcement learning models.
