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 ...

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 ...
Humans and most other animals are known to be strongly driven by expected rewards or adverse consequences. The process of acquiring new skills or adjusting behaviors in response to positive outcomes ...
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 ...
Visualization of sequential neuronal activity in the medial prefrontal cortex of mice at different learning stages—from novices (days 1–2) to experts (day 6)—during successful and failed reward ...
