Nucleus Accumbens Cell Type- and Input-Specific Suppression of Unproductive Reward Seeking

By Christopher K. Lafferty, Angela Yang, Jesse Mendoza, Jonathan P. Britt
| Cell Press Verified
Highlights • D1 and D2 neuron activity in the NAc is elevated during behavioral suppression • Inhibition of D1 or D2 neurons in the NAc increases unproductive reward seeking • BLA and PVT axons innervate distinct NAc subregions, yet both inputs are reinforcing • Inhibition of BLA or PVT inputs to the NAc increases unproductive reward seeking Summary The nucleus accumbens (NAc) contributes to behavioral inhibition and compulsions, but circuit mechanisms are unclear.

| Cell Press Verified
Highlights • Operant choice behavior is driven by differences in expected value • Cue-evoked midbrain dopamine (DA) neuron activity reflects expected value • Disrupting cue-evoked DA interferes with the maintenance of cue-value associations • Manipulations of cue-evoked DA signaling do not lead to under- or overexpectation Summary Cue-evoked midbrain dopamine (DA) neuron activity reflects expected value, but its influence on reward assessment is unclear.
