TLDR
It now seems crucial to understand how the dopaminergic neurons are controlled and what the released dopamine does to the underlying circuits to convey opposite valence.

The neuronal architecture of the mushroom body provides a logic for associative learning

TL;DR: The elucidation of the complement of neurons of the MB provides a comprehensive anatomical substrate from which one can infer a functional logic of associative olfactory learning and memory.

Coordinated and Compartmentalized Neuromodulation Shapes Sensory Processing in Drosophila

TL;DR: It is shown that the Drosophila mushroom body functions like a switchboard in which neuromodulation reroutes the same odor signal to different behavioral circuits, depending on the state and experience of the fly.
Journal ArticleDOI

A connectome of a learning and memory center in the adult Drosophila brain

TL;DR: This work reconstructed the morphologies and synaptic connections of all 983 neurons within the three functional units, or compartments, that compose the adult MB’s α lobe, using a dataset of isotropic 8 nm voxels collected by focused ion-beam milling scanning electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defining and assessing animal pain

TL;DR: Criteria that demonstrate, beyond a reasonable doubt, whether animals of a given species experience pain are defined that are vital to inform whether to alleviate pain or to drive the refinement of procedures to reduce invasiveness.

A Neural Substrate of Prediction and Reward

TL;DR: Findings in this work indicate that dopaminergic neurons in the primate whose fluctuating output apparently signals changes or errors in the predictions of future salient and rewarding events can be understood through quantitative theories of adaptive optimizing control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dopamine in Motivational Control: Rewarding, Aversive, and Alerting

TL;DR: It is proposed that dopamine neurons come in multiple types that are connected with distinct brain networks and have distinct roles in motivational control, and it is hypothesized that these dopaminergic pathways for value, salience, and alerting cooperate to support adaptive behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two types of dopamine neuron distinctly convey positive and negative motivational signals

TL;DR: It is shown that some dopamine neurons were excited by reward-predicting stimuli and inhibited by airpuff-p Predicting stimuli, as the value hypothesis predicts, but this is true only for a subset of dopamine neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mushroom body memoir: From maps to models

TL;DR: Genetic intervention in the fly Drosophila melanogaster has provided strong evidence that the mushroom bodies of the insect brain act as the seat of a memory trace for odours, and the development of a circuit model that addresses this function might allow the mushrooms to throw light on the basic operating principles of the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuron-type-specific signals for reward and punishment in the ventral tegmental area

TL;DR: VTA GABAergic neurons signal expected reward, a key variable for dopaminergic neurons to calculate reward prediction error, and are ‘tagged’ and identified based on their responses to optical stimulation while recording.
