Experimental design. (A) Schematic diagram of cell type-specific optogenetic stimulation of the anteromedial OT. Stereotaxic atlas from Franklin and Paxinos (2008). We injected Cre-dependent AAVs encoding EYFP or ChETA-EYFP and implanted optic fiber canula into the anteromedial OT of D1-Cre or D2-Cre mice. (B) Place preference chamber. In the RTPP tests, mice were randomly placed on either side of the chamber, which was assigned as the control side (no photo-stimulation). Blue light was delivered when mice were on the opposite side of the initial position. OT, olfactory tubercle; AAV, adeno-associated virus; EYFP, enhanced yellow fluorescent protein; RTPP, real-time place preference; D1, dopamine receptor D1; D2, dopamine receptor D2.
