Evidence on the effect of dopamine D1 and D2-like antagonists manipulations reward value licking microstructure is reanalysed considering recent findings role nucleus accumbens (NAc) medium spiny neurons (MSNs) in control sugar intake. The results this analysis suggest that MSN activation, which involved emission bursts, might play a crucial response to novel rewards. D2 reduction burst size suppression licking, mediate devaluation. Elucidating neural mechanisms underlying lead better definition its microstructural measures behaviourally psychologically meaningful functional terms. This could further support use as behavioural substrate study ingestive behaviour motivation, well animal models pathological conditions such eating disorders obesity.
