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...

Endogenous opioid dynamics in the dorsal striatum sculpt neural activity to promote goal-directed action

It is found that glutamatergic axon terminals from the basolateral amygdala evoke striatal dynorphin release, resulting in feed-forward retrograde presynaptic GPCR inhibition to promote behavior, and subsequent GPCR activity for promoting goal-directed behavior.
