Natural vta activity during nrem sleep influences future exploratory behavior

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Julia J. Harris from the Neuroscience and Energy Control Laboratory, Francis Crick Institute, London, UK have published the paper: Natural VTA activity during NREM sleep influences future exploratory behavior, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of June/17,/2022
• what: The activity of these neurons during sleep does not appear critical to spatial learning or general levels of arousal/anxiety, but disrupting these neurons during NREM sleep does affect future behavior, seeming to reduce behaviors that favor exploration and investigation and promote goal-directed action.
• how: The authors developed a paradigm in which the . . .
