Kenneth A. Amaya, James E. Carmichael, Jeffrey J. Stott, Erica S. Townsend et al.

Short summary

Neural activity in the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) shifts during habit formation, with overtraining leading to rapid depression at the choice point and excitation during reward receipt, signaling outcome magnitude but not identity.
