Optogenetic activation of the ventral tegmental area-hippocampal pathway facilitates rapid adaptation to changes in spatial goals
Summary: Animal adaptation to environmental goals to pursue rewards is modulated by dopamine. However, the role of dopamine in the hippocampus, involved in spatial navigation, remains unclear. Here, we studied dopaminergic inputs from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to the hippocampus, focusing on...
