This paper discusses how phasic DA release in response to positive 'reward prediction errors' (RPE) could promote the selection of actions associated with reward. It also discusses how transient drops in DA release in response to negative RPE could lead to the suppression of actions associated with aversive outcomes.

Using this technique, this group elegantly describes rules governing postsynaptic calcium summation, which will shed light on the mechanisms involved in STDP induction.

This is the first demonstration that DA controls the induction of LTP and LTD in a receptor and cell-type-specific manner. In a DA depleted state, mimicking Parkinson's disease, synaptic plasticity was still inducible in both cell types, but was no longer bidirectional or Hebbian, suggesting that DA acts to coordinate the induction of corticostriatal plasticity in complementary, receptor-dependent ways.

This study used 2PLSM and BAC transgenic mice to examine the dendritic excitability of identified MSN populations. The authors demonstrate that somatically generated back-propagating action potentials degrade with distance from the soma, and do so more rapidly in striatonigral than striatopallidal MSNs. The data from this study ultimately raise questions about how far from the soma STDP may be efficiently evoked in MSNs.
