TWiN 40: Dopamine organizes behavior's syllables

Épisode de This Week in Neuroscience par Vincent Racaniello · 11 mai 2023 · 1 h 04 min

Tim takes TWiN through two studies on the role of dopamine: that syllables are natural units of spontaneous behavior used by the brain to structure action, and that mesolimbic dopamine release conveys causal associations but not reward prediction errors, thereby challenging the dominant theory of reward learning.
