Scientists Reveal Reward Learning Pathway Mediated by Somatostatin Neurons
Assessing the positive or negative valence of external sensory cues and translating them into appropriate behavioral responses is crucial for animal survival in complex or challenging environments. Negative valence signals lead to aversive/avoidance behaviors, while positive valence signals promote reward/approach behaviors. Much previous research has focused on the neural structures within the emotional processing network … Read more
