How does chronic stress impact decision making?  Ann Graybiel and colleagues demonstrate that chronic stress changes how rats weigh costs and benefits of decisions to seek higher rewards despite higher costs.  These behavioral effects are mediated by prefronto-striatal circuit dynamics and can be blocked or mimicked by selective optogenetic manipulation.
