Electrophysiological Correlates of Reward Processing in Dopamine Neurons
W. Schultz
- pp 21-31
TLDR
In this paper, the dopamine reward-prediction error signal is used for economic choices that maximize utility, and the dopamine signal fits well into formal competitive decision models, whereby it codes the output variable (chosen value) suitable for updating or immediately influencing main input variables (object value and action value).Abstract:
Studies have identified three novel properties of the dopamine reward-prediction error signal First, the dopamine response reports initially and unselectively many salient, potentially rewarding events and subsequently processes more specifically the reward-prediction error This two-component structure restricts the earlier claimed salience coding to the initial component and explains aversive activations by physical impact rather than punishment Second, the dopamine prediction error signal reflects subjective reward value and, more stringently, formal economic utility A dopamine utility prediction error signal would be particularly useful for economic choices that maximize utility Third, the dopamine signal fits well into formal competitive decision models, whereby it codes the output variable (chosen value) suitable for updating or immediately influencing main input variables (object value and action value) With these properties, the dopamine utility prediction error signal bridges the gap between animal learning theory (prediction error) and economic decision theory (utility)read more

Opponent Brain Systems for Reward and Punishment Learning: Causal Evidence From Drug and Lesion Studies in Humans
TL;DR: The evidence for and against several hypotheses for the neural implementation of punishment learning are reviewed, focusing on human studies that compare the effects of neural perturbation, following drug administration and/or pathological conditions, on reward and punishment learning.

TL;DR: Results suggest that the subjective value of goods are encoded using sets of brain activation patterns which are tuned to respond uniquely to either low, medium, or high values.

Decision-Making and Impulse Control Disorders in Parkinson's Disease
TL;DR: Insight is provided into the role of dopamine on decision-making processes in addictions and potential therapeutic targets by highlighting reliance on a ventral striatal critic model of stimulus value with impaired learning from negative prediction error.

A framework for mesencephalic dopamine systems based on predictive Hebbian learning
TL;DR: A theoretical framework is developed that shows how mesencephalic dopamine systems could distribute to their targets a signal that represents information about future expectations and shows that, through a simple influence on synaptic plasticity, fluctuations in dopamine release can act to change the predictions in an appropriate manner.

The physics of optimal decision making: a formal analysis of models of performance in two-alternative forced-choice tasks.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider optimal decision making in two-alternative forced-choice (TAFC) tasks and show that all but one can be reduced to the drift diffusion model, implementing the statistically optimal algorithm.

Neurons in the orbitofrontal cortex encode economic value
TL;DR: Neurons in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) encode the value of offered and chosen goods during economic choice, suggesting that economic choice is essentially choice between goods rather than choice between actions.

Toward a modern theory of adaptive networks: Expectation and prediction.
TL;DR: The adaptive element presented learns to increase its response rate in anticipation of increased stimulation, producing a conditioned response before the occurrence of the unconditioned stimulus, and is in strong agreement with the behavioral data regarding the effects of stimulus context.
