Cholinergic Interneurons Drive Motivation by Promoting Dopamine Release in the Nucleus Accumbens

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Berke | Authors: Ali Mohebi, Val L Collins and Joshua D Berke | Summary: Abstract Motivation to work for potential rewards is critically dependent on dopamine (DA) in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). DA release from NAc axons can be controlled by at least two distinct mechanisms: 1) action potentials propagating from DA […]

An inhibitory plasticity mechanism for world structure inference by hippocampal replay

Kavli Affiliate: Attila Losonczy | Authors: Zhenrui Liao, Darian Hadjiabadi, Satoshi Terada, Ivan Soltesz and Attila Losonczy | Summary: Summary Memory consolidation assimilates recent experiences into long-term memory. This process requires the replay of learned sequences, though the content of these sequences remains controversial. Recent work has shown that the statistics of replay deviate from […]
