(A) Representative images of GRABDA_2h and Cre-dependent GCamp6f expression in the NAc and VTA, respectively. Top row: Dopamine release recordings from the lateral subregion of the NAc shell are …
Quantified dopamine responses to intraoral sucrose and quinine.
The fiber optic implant locations in the NAc lateral shell were verified via post-experimental histological reconstruction. Measurement values denote anterior–posterior coronal plane in relation to …
(A) Representative image of nose, forepaws, tail base, and chamber legs tracking of a rat in a cylindrical chamber from a below chamber perspective. Positional coordinates of selected features were …
Normalized nose and forepaw movements to intraoral sucrose and quinine and associated dopamine responses.
(A) Schematic of Single-pairing conditioned taste aversion (CTA) timeline. Subjects were first habituated to 30 brief intraoral infusions (200 µl/trial) of water at varying intertrial intervals …
Quantified NAc dopamine and VTADA activity responses to intraoral sucrose before and after CTA formation.
The fiber optic implant locations in the NAc lateral shell and VTA were verified via post-experimental histological reconstruction. Measurement values denote anterior–posterior coronal plane in …
(A, B) Behavioral reactivity was quantified as the change in movement from baseline to infusion period. In Unpaired subjects, the average behavioral reactivity of nose (left) or forepaw (right) …
Normalized nose and paw movements to intraoral sucrose before and after CTA formation and associate dopamine responses.
(A) Schematic of the CTA paradigm consisting of a ingle-pairing of lithium chloride (LiCl) or saline pairing to sucrose followed by five consecutive sessions intraoral sucrose not subject to …
Quantified VTADA activity responses to intraoral sucrose across CTA extinction.
The fiber optic implant locations in the VTA were verified via post-experimental histological reconstruction. Measurement values denote anterior–posterior coronal plane in relation to Bregma. …
(A) Each Extinction session was followed by a 2-hour Two-Bottle Preference test with access to both sucrose and water. Sucrose preference scores were calculated as the percent of sucrose solution …
Sucrose preference scores and average VTADA activity responses to sucrose across CTA extinction.
(A) Schematic of the Delayed-test conditioned taste aversion (CTA) paradigm. CTA training as in Figure 3 was conducted. To match the timeline of Single-pairing CTA with Extinction, rats had five …
Quantified VTADA activity to intraoral sucrose across the Delayed-test CTA paradigm.
The fiber optic implant locations in the VTA were verified via post-experimental histological reconstruction. Measurement values denote anterior–posterior coronal plane in relation to Bregma. …
(A) Schematic of the Repeated-pairing CTA paradigm. The 3-day CTA conditioning process (as in Figure 3) was repeated three times (C1–C3). Following conditioning, subjects received eight daily …
