| Abstract: | In this issue of Neuron, Wang et?al. (2011) show that mice with dopamine neuron-specific NMDAR1 deletion have attenuated phasic dopamine neuron firing and a deficit in habit learning. These findings indicate that brain regions sensitive to phasic dopamine signals may underlie habit learning. |
