    Cortical beta oscillations map to shared brain networks modulated by dopamine

    Meera Chikermane, Liz Weerdmeester ... Wolf Julian Neumann
    Invasively recorded cortical beta oscillations form whole-brain structural and functional networks that are modulated by dopamine.

    Persistent activity in a recurrent circuit underlies courtship memory in Drosophila

    Xiaoliang Zhao, Daniela Lenek ... Krystyna Keleman
    Persistent activity of dopaminergic neurons in a mushroom recurrent circuit lays the foundation for courtship memory in Drosophila.

    An incentive circuit for memory dynamics in the mushroom body of Drosophila melanogaster

    Evripidis Gkanias, Li Yan McCurdy ... Barbara Webb
    Modelling differential roles for identified dopaminergic and output neurons of the fruit fly mushroom bodies, combined with a novel dopaminergic plasticity rule, explains neural and behavioural phenomena in olfactory learning tasks.
    1. Neuroscience

    The neuronal architecture of the mushroom body provides a logic for associative learning

    Yoshinori Aso, Daisuke Hattori ... Gerald M Rubin
    A map of the entire array of cell types and potential projections in the mushroom body of the fruit fly brain provides insights into the circuitry that supports learning of stimulus-reward and stimulus–punishment associations.

    Sexual dimorphism in striatal dopaminergic responses promotes monogamy in social songbirds

    Kirill Tokarev, Julia Hyland Bruno ... Henning U Voss
    Co-evolution of sexually dimorphic reinforcement systems for song can explain the coexistence of the seemingly contradictory traits of gregariousness and monogamy in social songbirds.

    Optical dopamine monitoring with dLight1 reveals mesolimbic phenotypes in a mouse model of neurofibromatosis type 1

    J Elliott Robinson, Gerard M Coughlin ... Viviana Gradinaru
    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.

    The paraventricular thalamus is a critical mediator of top-down control of cue-motivated behavior in rats

    Paolo Campus, Ignacio R Covelo ... Shelly B Flagel
    A top-down circuit generating from the prelimbic cortex and projecting to the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus mediates individual differences in cue-elicited responding by affecting subcortical dopamine-dependent incentive learning.
    1. Neuroscience

    Cerebellar modulation of synaptic input to freezing-related neurons in the periaqueductal gray

    Christopher E Vaaga, Spencer T Brown, Indira M Raman
    The mouse cerebellum regulates innate defensive neural circuitry by tonically controlling dopamine release in the periaqueductal gray, thereby modulating synaptic responses of the Chx10-positive neurons that generate freezing behavior.

    Shared mushroom body circuits underlie visual and olfactory memories in Drosophila

    Katrin Vogt, Christopher Schnaitmann ... Hiromu Tanimoto
    One memory center in the fly brain processes distinct appetitive and aversive associative memories of olfactory and visual cues using shared local circuits.

    A unique multi-synaptic mechanism involving acetylcholine and GABA regulates dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens through early adolescence in male rats

    Melody C Iacino, Taylor A Stowe ... Mark J Ferris
    A circuit within the nucleus accumbens that exists during a specific developmental window through early adolescence male rats may serve as a substrate that underlies heightened reward seeking in this population.
