Dissociable mesolimbic dopamine circuits control responding triggered by alcohol-predictive discrete cues and contexts

Dissociable mesolimbic dopamine circuits control responding triggered by alcohol-predictive discrete cues and contexts

Alcohol craving can be enhanced by alcohol-associated cues and by alcohol-associated contexts. Here the authors investigate the role of the ventral tegmental area (VTA)-to-nucleus accumbens (NAc) core and VTA-to-NAc shell circuits in mediating these distinct aspects of alcohol seeking behaviour in r...
