The dorsal hippocampus (dHPC) is a major centre for processing spatial memories, but the role of its downstream path- ways remains unclear. We have used dual-colour 2-photon imaging and optogenetics to show special coding character- istics of nucleus accumbens-projecting neurons that allow mice to engage in goal-directed behaviour upon approach of a learned reward zone.

The mushroom body (MB) is the main learning and memory centre of invertebrate brains, but its main neurotransmitter has remained a mystery before this publication. Using a combination of histological, behavioural, optogenetic, and 1P/2P calcium imaging methods, we conclusively demonstrate acetylcholine as the main MB transmitter used for communica- tion with MB output neurons. This shows that structural plasticity at a cholinergic synapse underlies olfactory associative learning in Drosophila.

This work represents the first 2-photon calcium imaging study of the mammalian midbrain, and describes tonotopic re- sponses in somata of inferior colliculus neurons as well as in axonal projections from auditory cortex.
