Extrinsic activin signaling cooperates with an intrinsic temporal program to increase mushroom body neuronal diversity.

abstract：:Humans are motivated to seek information from their environment. How the brain motivates this behavior is unknown. One speculation is that the brain employs neuromodulatory systems implicated in primary reward-seeking, in particular dopamine, to instruct information-seeking. However, there has been no causal test for ...
