About Lauren Faget

Lauren Faget, With an exceptional h-index of 16 and a recent h-index of 13 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at University of California, San Diego, specializes in the field of neurosciences, neuropharmacology, optogenetics, drug addiction, neural circuits.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Mesoaccumbal glutamate neurons drive reward via glutamate release but aversion via dopamine co-release

Proportion and distribution of neurotransmitter-defined cell types in the ventral tegmental area and substantia nigra pars compacta

Postnatal phencyclidine-induced deficits in decision making are ameliorated by optogenetic inhibition of ventromedial orbitofrontal cortical glutamate neurons

Neurotensin receptor 1-biased ligand attenuates neurotensin-mediated excitation of ventral tegmental area dopamine neurons and dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens

Ventral pallidum GABA and glutamate neurons drive approach and avoidance through distinct modulation of VTA cell types

Modulation of ventromedial orbitofrontal cortical glutamatergic activity affects the explore-exploit balance and influences value-based decision-making

Ventral pallidum GABA neurons mediate motivation underlying risky choice

VTA glutamate neuron activity drives positive reinforcement absent dopamine co-release
