• Reward-Predict ive Cues Enhance Excitatory Synaptic Strength onto Midbrain Dopamine Neurons -- Stuber et al. 321 (5896): 1690 -- Science: Using sensory information for the prediction of future events is essential for survival. Midbrain dopamine neurons are activated by environmental cues that predict rewards, but the cellular mechanisms that underlie this phenomenon remain elusive. We used in vivo voltammetry and in vitro patch-clamp electrophysiol ogy to show that both dopamine release to reward predictive cues and enhanced synaptic strength onto dopamine neurons develop over the course of cue-reward learning. Increased synaptic strength was not observed after stable behavioral responding. Thus, enhanced synaptic strength onto dopamine neurons may act to facilitate the transformation of neutral environmental stimuli to salient reward-predict ive cues.

They are thinking that this AMI is an alternative to ABI. This study shows that the AMI can provide performance levels at least comparable with the ABI.
