Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Sun et al. (2022) identify a neuronal subpopulation in the medial paralemniscal nucleus that underlies repetitive self-grooming. Through their projections to dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area, this subpopulation also drives reward and alleviates anxiety.
