Mixed representations of choice direction and outcome by GABA/glutamate cotransmitting neurons in the entopeduncular nucleus by Julianna Locantore, Yijun Liu, Jesse White, Janet Berrios Wallace, Celia Beron, Emily Kraft, Bernardo Sabatini, Michael Wallace

“…We then tested the effects of either permanently blocking cotransmission or modifying the GABA/glutamate ratio on behavior in well-trained animals. Neither manipulation produced detectable changes in behavior despite significant changes in synaptic transmission in the LHb, demonstrating that the outputs of these neurons are not required for ongoing action-outcome updating in a probabilistic switching task.…”
