Dynamic resource allocation during reinforcement learning accounts for ramping and phasic dopamine activity.

TL;DR: The review summarizes the recent advances in the field, addressing the relevance of emerging new targets in schizophrenia in particular in relation to the dopamine – glutamate NMDA systems interactions.

TL;DR: A major challenge is to reconcile RPE theory with other current theories of dopamine function to account for dopamine's role in movement, motivation, and goal-directed planning.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the recent history of computational modeling of learning and decision-making, and how these models have been used to advance understanding of prefrontal cortex function, and discuss how such models have advanced from their origins in basic algorithms of updating and action selection to increasingly account for complexities in the cognitive processes required for learning, and the representations over which they operate.

TL;DR: A new model is proposed that deals with the explanation of cases in which learning does not occur in spite of the fact that the conditioned stimulus is a signal for the reinforcer by specifying that certain procedures cause a conditioned stimulus to lose effectiveness.

TL;DR: Dopamine’s contribution appears to be chiefly to cause ‘wanting’ for hedonic rewards, more than ‘liking’ or learning for those rewards.

TL;DR: Recent work combining modern behavioural assays and neurobiological analysis of the basal ganglia has begun to yield insights into the neural basis of habit formation.

TL;DR: It is proposed that dopamine neurons come in multiple types that are connected with distinct brain networks and have distinct roles in motivational control, and it is hypothesized that these dopaminergic pathways for value, salience, and alerting cooperate to support adaptive behavior.
