Using a multifaceted systems neuroscience approach in male and female mice, we reveal a dual-pathway, amygdala–striatal neuronal circuit architecture by which a recent history of chronic stress disrupts the action–outcome learning underlying… Continue reading A dual-pathway architecture for #stress to disrupt agency and promote #habit
