Lateral hypothalamic control of the striatal dopamine landscape during consummatory behavior.

The lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) contains γ-aminobutyric acid (GABAergic) and glutamatergic neurons that converge on midbrain dopamine circuits, exerting opposing control over feeding and reinforcement. How these neurons behave during consummatory behavior and how they shape dopamine release across the striatum rema...
