Differential Cortical and Thalamic Engagement of Cholinergic Interneurons in the Nucleus Accumbens Core

This work uses cell type-specific retrograde anatomy and ex vivo slice physiology and optogenetics to characterize the properties of synapses onto CINs in the NAc core of mice of either sex, and establishes how these inputs and receptors evoke action potentials and influence spontaneous firing.
