This study identifies GRP/GRPR signaling in the nucleus accumbens medial shell as a regulator of neuronal excitability and motivation.

This study shows that loss of Cntnap2 in mice leads to increased striatal neuron excitability and behavioral inflexibility associated with ASD.

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