Prefrontal dopamine D1 and D2 receptors regulate dissociable aspects of decision making via distinct ventral striatal and amygdalar circuits

NL Jenni, JD Larkin, SB Floresco - Journal of Neuroscience, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
Mesocortical dopamine (DA) regulates a variety of cognitive functions via actions on D1

Role of projections between piriform cortex and orbitofrontal cortex in relapse to fentanyl seeking after palatable food choice-induced voluntary abstinence

DJ Reiner, OM Lofaro, SV Applebey… - Journal of …, 2020 - Soc Neuroscience
We recently developed a rat model of relapse to drug seeking after food choice-induced
