Ventromedial striatal dopamine dynamically integrates motivated action and reward proximity
Abstract
This project investigates how mesolimbic dopamine integrates two core functions: motivating action and encoding reward-related information. Using four systematically varied versions of a rat Go/No-go task, we examined how ventromedial striatal (VMS) dopamine respond to differences in action requirements, timing, and reward controllability.
