@markgbaxter exactly. I looked through the paper very quickly and they are mostly referred to as “basal forebrain cholinergic neurons” but now I see in several places they identify them as HDB specifically. NBM/SI would have been my first choice for the same reasons, so I just assumed they were recording from the auditory cortex projecting BF.

@markgbaxter you mean as opposed to NBM?

Basal forebrain cholinergic neurons differentially respond to cues that often lead to reward versus cues that rarely lead to reward. The magnitude of the response is correlated with reaction time.

New paper by Yunyao Xie from my lab. A dopaminergic reward prediction error signal shapes maternal behavior in mice https://www.cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S0896-6273(22)01073-X

This may be my favorite paper that I have ever published.
