Journal ArticleDOI
Temporally extended dopamine responses to perceptually demanding reward-predictive stimuli.
TL;DR: D dopamine neurons are able to reflect the reward value of perceptually complicated stimuli, and the results suggest that dopamine neurons use the moment-to-moment reward prediction associated with environmental stimuli to compute a reward prediction error.
Journal ArticleDOI
Midbrain Dopamine Neurons Signal Belief in Choice Accuracy during a Perceptual Decision
TL;DR: D dopamine responses emerged prior to monkeys' choice initiation, raising the possibility that dopamine impacts impending decisions, in addition to encoding a post-decision teaching signal, and it is shown that dopamine responses convey teaching signals that are also appropriate for perceptual decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influences of Rewarding and Aversive Outcomes on Activity in Macaque Lateral Prefrontal Cortex
Shunsuke Kobayashi,Shunsuke Kobayashi,Kensaku Nomoto,Kensaku Nomoto,Masataka Watanabe,Okihide Hikosaka,Wolfram Schultz,Masamichi Sakagami +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that information about positive and negative reinforcers is processed differentially in prefrontal cortex, which could contribute to the role of this structure in goal-directed behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Male-Evoked Responses in the Ventromedial Hypothalamus of Sexually Receptive Female Mice
Kensaku Nomoto,Susana Q. Lima +1 more
TL;DR: VMHvl neural activity could drive gender-specific and reproductive state-dependent sociosexual behavior and neuronal responses to male, but not female, conspecifics in the VMHvl were enhanced during the sexually receptive state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emotional Contagion From Humans to Dogs Is Facilitated by Duration of Ownership.
Maki Katayama,Takatomi Kubo,Toshitaka Yamakawa,Koichi Fujiwara,Kensaku Nomoto,Kazushi Ikeda,Kazutaka Mogi,Miho Nagasawa,Takefumi Kikusui +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that emotional contagion from owner to dog can occur especially in females and the time sharing the same environment is the key factor in inducing the efficacy of emotional contagions.
