Midbrain dopamine neurons signal aversion in a reward-context-dependent manner
eLife, 2016 Dopamine is thought to regulate learning from appetitive and aversive events. Here we examined how optogenetically-identified dopamine neurons in the lateral ventral tegmental area of mice respond to aversive events in different conditions. In low reward
