AbstractDopaminergic (DA) neurons are known to play a key role in controlling behaviors. While DA neurons in other brain regions are extensively characterized, those in zona incerta (ZITH or A13) receive much less attention and their function remains to be defined. Here it is shown that optogenetic stimulation of these neurons elicited intensive self‐grooming behaviors and promoted place preference, which can be enhanced by training but cannot be converted into contextual memory.

1 Introduction Self-grooming is an innate behavior that is important for hygiene maintenance, thermoregulation, de-arousal, soothing after stress, and social attraction (for reviews, see,[1, 2]), and rodents spend a significant amount of their wake time grooming.
