Explaining dopamine through prediction errors and beyond
The most influential account of phasic dopamine holds that it reports reward prediction
errors (RPEs). The RPE-based interpretation of dopamine signaling is, in its original form …

Wave-like dopamine dynamics as a mechanism for spatiotemporal credit assignment
Significant evidence supports the view that dopamine shapes learning by encoding reward
prediction errors. However, it is unknown whether striatal targets receive tailored dopamine …

Reward expectation extinction restructures and degrades CA1 spatial maps through loss of a dopaminergic reward proximity signal
Hippocampal place cells support reward-related spatial memories by forming a cognitive
map that over-represents reward locations. The strength of these memories is modulated by …

A mosaic of cost–benefit control over cortico-striatal circuitry
Dopamine contributes to cognitive control through well-established effects in both the
striatum and cortex. Although earlier work suggests that dopamine affects cognitive control …

Dual credit assignment processes underlie dopamine signals in a complex spatial environment
Animals frequently make decisions based on expectations of future reward (" values").
Values are updated by ongoing experience: places and choices that result in reward are …

Slowly evolving dopaminergic activity modulates the moment-to-moment probability of reward-related self-timed movements
Clues from human movement disorders have long suggested that the neurotransmitter
dopamine plays a role in motor control, but how the endogenous dopaminergic system …

Midbrain dopamine neurons signal phasic and ramping reward prediction error during goal-directed navigation
Goal-directed navigation requires learning to accurately estimate location and select optimal
actions in each location. Midbrain dopamine neurons are involved in reward value learning …

Dopamine encodes real-time reward availability and transitions between reward availability states on different timescales
Optimal behavior requires interpreting environmental cues that indicate when to perform
actions. Dopamine is important for learning about reward-predicting events, but its role in …
