Phasic activation of ventral tegmental neurons increases response and pattern similarity in prefrontal cortex neurons

Dopamine is critical for higher neural processes and modifying the activity of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). However, the mechanism of dopamine contribution to the modification of neural representation is unclear. Using in vivo two-photon population Ca2+ imaging in awake mice, this study investigated...
