A midbrain circuit mechanism for noise-induced negative valence coding

Abstract Unpleasant sounds elicit a range of negative emotional reactions, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here we show that glutamatergic neurons in the central inferior colliculus (CICglu) relay noise information to GABAergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTAG...
