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

The paper investigates reinforcement learning in male and female mice with ASD-linked mutations, finding enhanced learning in males but not females, with effects modulated by reward uncertainty.

This study shows adolescent and adult mice use both reinforcement learning and short-term memory strategies to learn a conditional odor association task, with no developmental difference in learning rates but increased reliance on perseverative strategies in males.

This study investigates the role of the indirect pathway in choice suppression using chemogenetic manipulation in mice, finding that activation, not inhibition, of iSPNs disrupts suppression of nonrewarded choices.

This paper introduces a non-genetically encoded near-infrared fluorescent nanosensor to image dopamine release in brain tissue with high spatial and temporal resolution.
