The paper shows that dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens during instrumental learning reflects Bayesian inference of probabilistic beliefs about hidden environmental states.

This study shows that ventral hippocampus CA1 is necessary for mice to perform hidden state inference in a 2-armed bandit task using abstract contextual representations.

This study identifies two distinct hippocampus to prefrontal cortex pathways that differentially regulate approach and avoidance behaviors.

This study identifies parallel excitatory and inhibitory pathways from the basal amygdala to the ventral hippocampus in mice, showing how BA inhibition gates place-value associations through specific connectivity.

This study investigates how ghrelin signaling in the ventral hippocampus influences feeding behavior by modulating specific neuronal circuits in mice.

The paper investigates how grid cells represent volumetric space in rats and finds that their firing fields are irregularly arranged despite maintaining normal spatial and dynamic properties.
