Heterozygous Nf1 knockout mice exhibit distinct dopaminergic phenotypes in vivo, as revealed by the genetically encoded dopamine sensor dLight1, patch clamp electrophysiology, optogenetics, and novel viral tools for morphological analysis.

Dopamine signals in the ventral, dorsomedial, and dorsolateral striatum are modulated by various variables, such as stimulus-associated value, choice, confidence, but these modulations can be inclusively explained by TD errors.

Dopamine signaling gradually causes long-lasting changes in fine motor coordination that can later be activated by acute changes in dopamine neuron activity.

Dopamine modulates behavioral measures of learning and pleasantness in a learning task guided by intrinsic reward, inducing long-term memory benefits specially in those participants with a high sensitivity to reward.

The extracellular concentration of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens core is progressively diminished by white noise, an underutilized, easy-to-titrate aversive stimulus, but is unaffected by white-noise intensity, context valence, and associated probabilistic contingencies.

The absence of generally assumed strong correlations between striatal dopamine synthesis capacity and simple indices of working memory capacity, trait impulsivity, and spontaneous eye-blink rate warrants caution for using these traits as proxy measures to replace direct striatal dopamine assessments.
Dopamine and GABA neurons in the ventral tegmental area encode short-term memory in the T-maze task, which cannot be explained by reward-related processes, motivated behavior, or motor-related activities.
