This paper reports a study on the cognitive representation of intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) of midbrain dopamine neurons. The authors aimed to answer why rats work to obtain ICSS, i.e., how the pulsatile activation of dopamine neurons is represented in the brain. Research Background: The pulsatile activation of dopamine neurons is typically ...
