Does phasic dopamine release cause policy updates?

Author(s): Carter F; Cossette MP; Trujillo-Pisanty I; Pallikaras V; Breton YA; Conover K; Caplan J; Solis P; Voisard J; Yaksich A; Shizgal P; ...

Phasic dopamine activity is believed to both encode reward-prediction errors (RPEs) and to cause the adaptations that these errors engender. If so, a rat working for optogenetic stimulation of dopa ...

Dopamine and Beyond: Implications of Psychophysical Studies of Intracranial Self-Stimulation for the Treatment of Depression

Author(s): Pallikaras V; Shizgal P;

Major depressive disorder is a leading cause of disability and suicide worldwide. Consecutive rounds of conventional interventions are ineffective in a significant sub-group of patients whose disorder is classified as treatment-resistant depression. Signifi ...

The Convergence Model of Brain Reward Circuitry: Implications for Relief of Treatment-Resistant Depression by Deep-Brain Stimulation of the Medial Forebrain Bundle

Author(s): Pallikaras V; Shizgal P;

Deep-brain stimulation of the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) can provide effective, enduring relief of treatment-resistant depression. Panksepp provided an explanatory framework: the MFB constitutes the core of the neural circuitry subserving the anticipatio ...

The trade-off between pulse duration and power in optical excitation of midbrain dopamine neurons approximates Bloch's law

Author(s): Pallikaras V; Carter F; Velazquez-Martinez DN; Arvanitogiannis A; Shizgal P;

Optogenetic experiments reveal functional roles of specific neurons. However, functional inferences have been limited by widespread adoption of a restricted set of stimulation parameters. Broader exploration of the parameter space can deepen insight into th ...
