Dopamine D2 receptors (D2Rs) are densely expressed in the striatum and have been linked to neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia1,2. High-affinity binding of dopamine suggests that D2Rs detect transient reductions in dopamine concentration (the dopamine dip) during punishment learning3,4,5. However, the nature and cellular basis of D2R-dependent behaviour are unclear. Here we show that tone reward conditioning induces marked stimulus generalization in a manner that depends on dopamine D1 receptors (D1Rs) in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) of mice, and that discrimination learning refines the conditioning using a dopamine dip. In NAc slices, a narrow dopamine dip (as short as 0.4 s) was detected by D2Rs to disinhibit adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR)-mediated enlargement of dendritic spines in D2R-expressing spiny projection neurons (D2-SPNs). Plasticity-related signalling by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and A2ARs in the NAc was required for discrimination learning. By contrast, extinction learning did not involve dopamine dips or D2-SPNs. Treatment with methamphetamine, which dysregulates dopamine signalling, impaired discrimination learning and spine enlargement, and these impairments were reversed by a D2R antagonist. Our data show that D2Rs refine the generalized reward learning mediated by D1Rs.

辨别学习和脊柱增大中的多巴胺 D2 受体

多巴胺 D2 受体 (D2Rs) 在纹状体中密集表达,并与精神分裂症等神经精神疾病有关1,2。多巴胺的高亲和力结合表明 D2R 在惩罚学习3,4,5期间检测到多巴胺浓度的瞬时降低(多巴胺下降) 。然而,D2R 依赖行为的性质和细胞基础尚不清楚。在这里,我们展示了音调奖励条件反射以依赖于小鼠伏隔核 (NAc) 中的多巴胺 D1 受体 (D1Rs) 的方式诱导显着的刺激泛化,并且辨别学习使用多巴胺浸提来改进条件反射。在 NAc 切片中,D2R 检测到狭窄的多巴胺下降(短至 0.4 s)以去抑制腺苷 A 2A受体(A2A R) 介导的 D2R 表达的棘状投射神经元 (D2-SPN) 中的树突棘增大。NAc 中的 Ca 2+ /钙调蛋白依赖性蛋白激酶 II 和 A 2A Rs 的可塑性相关信号传导是辨别学习所必需的。相比之下,灭绝学习不涉及多巴胺下降或 D2-SPN。用甲基苯丙胺治疗,它会失调多巴胺信号传导,损害辨别学习和脊柱增大,并且这些损伤被 D2R 拮抗剂逆转。我们的数据表明,D2Rs 改进了由 D1Rs 介导的广义奖励学习。
