Reinforcement-learning in fronto-striatal circuits

B Averbeck, JP O'Doherty - Neuropsychopharmacology, 2022 - nature.com
We review the current state of knowledge on the computational and neural mechanisms of
reinforcement-learning with a particular focus on fronto-striatal circuits. We divide the …

From compulsivity to compulsion: the neural basis of compulsive disorders

TW Robbins, P Banca, D Belin - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2024 - nature.com
Compulsive behaviour, an apparently irrational perseveration in often maladaptive acts, is a
potential transdiagnostic symptom of several neuropsychiatric disorders, including …

Serotonin neurons modulate learning rate through uncertainty

CD Grossman, BA Bari, JY Cohen - Current Biology, 2022 - cell.com
Regulating how fast to learn is critical for flexible behavior. Learning about the
consequences of actions should be slow in stable environments, but accelerate when that …

Behavior-and modality-general representation of confidence in orbitofrontal cortex

P Masset, T Ott, A Lak, J Hirokawa, A Kepecs - Cell, 2020 - cell.com
Every decision we make is accompanied by a sense of confidence about its likely outcome.
This sense informs subsequent behavior, such as investing more—whether time, effort, or …

Why and how the brain weights contributions from a mixture of experts

JP O'Doherty, SW Lee, R Tadayonnejad… - Neuroscience & …, 2021 - Elsevier
It has long been suggested that human behavior reflects the contributions of multiple
systems that cooperate or compete for behavioral control. Here we propose that the brain …

Multi-step planning in the brain

KJ Miller, SJC Venditto - Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences, 2021 - Elsevier
Decisions in the natural world are rarely made in isolation. Each action that an organism
selects will affect the future situations in which it finds itself, and those situations will in turn …

Action-modulated midbrain dopamine activity arises from distributed control policies

J Lindsey, A Litwin-Kumar - Advances in Neural Information …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Animal behavior is driven by multiple brain regions working in parallel with distinct control
policies. We present a biologically plausible model of off-policy reinforcement learning in the …

[HTML][HTML] Parallel and hierarchical neural mechanisms for adaptive and predictive behavioral control

T Macpherson, M Matsumoto, H Gomi, J Morimoto… - Neural Networks, 2021 - Elsevier
Our brain can be recognized as a network of largely hierarchically organized neural circuits
that operate to control specific functions, but when acting in parallel, enable the performance …

Revisiting the role of computational neuroimaging in the era of integrative neuroscience

AM Loosen, A Kato, X Gu - Neuropsychopharmacology, 2024 - nature.com
