Midbrain dopamine neurons signal rapid information about rewards and reward-related events. It has been suggested that this fast signal may, in fact, be conveyed by co-released glutamate. Evidence that dopamine neurons co-release glutamate comes largely from studies involving cultured neurons or tis...
