New look at dopamine signaling suggests neuroscientists' model of reinforcement learning may need to be revised
Dopamine is a powerful signal in the brain, influencing our moods, motivations, movements, and more. The neurotransmitter is crucial for reward-based learning, a function that may be disrupted in a ...
Research shows that reward-based learning requires the two neuromodulators to balance one another's influence -- like the accelerator and brakes on a car If you've heard of two of the brain's chemical ...
Research in mice identifies brain circuitry that supports certain reward-based decisions. Every day, our brain makes thousands of decisions, big and small. Any of these decisions -- from the least ...
If you reward a monkey with some juice, it will learn which hand to move in response to a specific visual cue – but only if the cerebellum is functioning properly. So say neuroscientists at the ...
Researchers at University of Tsukuba and their collaborators have demonstrated that learning from both rewarding and aversive outcomes requires a common brain molecule, sulfatase 1 (Sulf1). This ...
