Reward prediction error signals by reticular formation neurons.
As a key part of the brain's reward system, midbrain dopamine neurons are thought to generate signals that reflect errors in the prediction of reward. However, recent evidence suggests that "upstream" brain areas may make important contributions to the generation of prediction error signals. To address this issue, we recorded neural activity in midbrain reticular formation (MRNm) while rats per...
متن کاملReward Prediction Error Signals are Metarepresentational
Although there has been considerable debate about the existence of metarepresentational capacities in non-human animals and their scope in humans, the well-confirmed temporal difference reinforcement learning models of rewardguided decision making have been largely overlooked. This paper argues that the reward prediction error signals which are postulated by temporal difference models and have ...
متن کاملMidbrain Dopamine Neurons Encode a Quantitative Reward Prediction Error Signal
The midbrain dopamine neurons are hypothesized to provide a physiological correlate of the reward prediction error signal required by current models of reinforcement learning. We examined the activity of single dopamine neurons during a task in which subjects learned by trial and error when to make an eye movement for a juice reward. We found that these neurons encoded the difference between th...
متن کاملReward prediction error computation in the pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus neurons.
In this article, we address the role of neuronal activity in the pathways of the brainstem-midbrain circuit in reward and the basis for believing that this circuit provides advantages over previous reinforcement learning theory. Several lines of evidence support the reward-based learning theory proposing that midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons send a teaching signal (the reward prediction error sig...
متن کاملReward prediction error coding in dorsal striatal neurons.
In the current theory of learning, the reward prediction error (RPE), the difference between expected and received reward, is thought to be a key factor in reward-based learning, working as a teaching signal. The activity of dopamine neurons is known to code RPE, and the release of dopamine is known to modify the strength of synaptic connectivity in the target neurons. A fundamental interest in...
