Navigating for reward

M Sosa, LM Giocomo - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2021 - nature.com
An organism's survival can depend on its ability to recall and navigate to spatial locations
associated with rewards, such as food or a home. Accumulating research has revealed that …

The cognitive control of eating and body weight: it's more than what you “think”

TL Davidson, S Jones, M Roy… - Frontiers in psychology, 2019 - frontiersin.org

Functional neurochemistry of the ventral and dorsal hippocampus: stress, depression, dementia and remote hippocampal damage

NV Gulyaeva - Neurochemical Research, 2019 - Springer
The hippocampus is not a homogeneous brain area, and the complex organization of this
structure underlies its relevance and functional pleiotropism. The new data related to the …

Dorsal and ventral hippocampal sharp-wave ripples activate distinct nucleus accumbens networks

M Sosa, HR Joo, LM Frank - Neuron, 2020 - cell.com

Different encoding of reward location in dorsal and intermediate hippocampus

P Jarzebowski, YA Hay, BF Grewe, O Paulsen - Current Biology, 2022 - cell.com
Hippocampal place cells fire at specific locations in the environment. They form a cognitive
map that encodes spatial relations in the environment, including reward locations. 1 As part …

Circuit selectivity in drug versus natural reward seeking behaviors

RW Nall, JA Heinsbroek, TB Nentwig… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Substance use disorder (SUD) is characterized, in part by behavior biased toward drug use

Distinct transcriptomic cell types and neural circuits of the subiculum and prosubiculum along the dorsal-ventral axis

SL Ding, Z Yao, KE Hirokawa, TN Nguyen… - Cell reports, 2020 - cell.com
Subicular regions play important roles in spatial processing and many cognitive functions,
