Activation of D2 dopamine receptor-expressing neurons in the nucleus accumbens increases motivation
Striatal D1 and D2-receptor expressing neurons have been shown to have opposing effects on reward-related behaviours. Here the authors reveal that specific activation of both D1 and D2 neurons in the nucleus accumbens leads to increase in motivational drive in rodents.
