Behavioral functions of the mesolimbic dopaminergic system: an affective neuroethological perspective.
TL;DR: The affective neuroethological perspective presented here views the ML-DA system in terms of its ability to activate an instinctual emotional appetitive state (SEEKING) evolved to induce organisms to search for all varieties of life-supporting stimuli and to avoid harms.

The Vertebrate mesolimbic reward system and social behavior network: A comparative synthesis
TL;DR: A comprehensive comparative analysis of the two neural circuits of social behavior network and mesolimbic reward system concludes that they were already present in early vertebrates and proposes that these circuits form a larger social decision‐making (SDM) network that regulates adaptive behavior.

Reward Changes Salience in Human Vision via the Anterior Cingulate
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that reward has an impact on vision that is independent of its role in the strategic establishment of endogenous attention and suggests that reward plays an important and undervalued role in attentional control.

The basic emotional circuits of mammalian brains: do animals have affective lives?
TL;DR: Since all vertebrates appear to have some capacity for primal affective feelings, the implications for animal-welfare and how the authors ethically treat other animals are vast.

Opponency Revisited: Competition and Cooperation Between Dopamine and Serotonin
Y-Lan Boureau,Peter Dayan +1 more
TL;DR: The structure of opponency is considered in terms of previous biases about the nature of the decision problems that animals face, the conflicts that may arise between Pavlovian and instrumental responses, and an additional spectrum joining invigoration to inhibition to shed light on aspects of the role of serotonin and its interactions with dopamine.

Olfactory network dynamics and the coding of multidimensional signals
TL;DR: According to this hypothesis, the olfactory system actively creates a large coding space in which to place odour representations and simultaneously optimizes their distribution within it, using both oscillatory and non-periodic dynamic processes with complementary functions.

I of the Vortex: From Neurons to Self
Rodolfo R. Llinás
- 01 Jan 2000
TL;DR: According to Rodolfo Llinas, the "mindness state" evolved to allow predictive interactions between mobile creatures and their environment, and reality is not all "out there," but is a kind of virtual reality.
The Functional Divide for Primary Reinforcement of D-Amphetamine Lies between the Medial and Lateral Ventral Striatum: Is the Division of the Accumbens Core, Shell, and Olfactory Tubercle Valid?
TL;DR: It is suggested that the current division of the ventral striatum into the accumbens core and shell and the olfactory tubercle does not reflect the functional organization for amphetamine reward, and the current core-shell-tubercle scheme should be reconsidered.
Contributions of the anterior forebrain pathway to vocal plasticity.
TL;DR: This chapter reviews some of the experimental evidence supporting a role for the anterior forebrain pathway in song learning and vocal plasticity and discusses potential instructive and permissive functions of the AFP in vocal Plasticity.
