Abstract

The role of GABAergic projections from the ventral tegmental area to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) in associative learning is poorly understood. Brownet al. now show that these neurons terminate on a class of interneurons only sparsely represented in the NAc and enhance associative learning by halting their tonic firing.
