Functionally Distinct Dopamine Signals in Nucleus Accumbens Core and Shell in the Freely Moving Rat

Dynamic signaling of mesolimbic dopamine (DA) neurons has been implicated in reward learning, drug abuse, and motivation. However, this system is complex because firing patterns of these neurons are heterogeneous; subpopulations receive distinct synaptic inputs, and project to anatomically and funct...
