Electrophysiological Correlates of Reward Processing in Dopamine Neurons

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.

Neuroscience in service research: an overview and discussion of its possibilities
TL;DR: This work is a call to action for more service researchers to adopt promising and increasingly accessible neuro-tools that allow the service field to benefit from neuroscience theories and insights, and offers service researchers a starting point to understand the potential benefits of adopting the neuroscientific method.

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.

Tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive boutons in synaptic contact with identified striatonigral neurons, with particular reference to dendritic spines
TL;DR: It is proposed that the spatial distribution of presumed dopaminergic terminals in synaptic contact with different parts of striatonigral neurons has important functional implications and might alter the pattern of firing of striatal output neurons by regulating their input.

Preferential activation of midbrain dopamine neurons by appetitive rather than aversive stimuli
TL;DR: Dopamine neurons preferentially report environmental stimuli with appetitive rather than aversive motivational value, and primary and conditioned non-noxious aversive stimuli either failed to activate dopamine neurons or induced weaker responses than appetitive stimuli.

Neuronal Reward and Decision Signals: From Theories to Data
TL;DR: Although all reward, reinforcement, and decision variables are theoretical constructs, their neuronal signals constitute measurable physical implementations and as such confirm the validity of these concepts.

A cellular mechanism of reward-related learning
TL;DR: It is proposed that stimulation of the substantia nigra when the lever is pressed induces a similar potentiation of cortical inputs to the striatum, positively reinforcing the learning of the behaviour by the rats.

A causal link between prediction errors, dopamine neurons and learning

TL;DR: It is observed that optogenetic activation of dopamine neurons concurrent with reward delivery, mimicking a prediction error, was sufficient to cause long-lasting increases in cue-elicited reward-seeking behavior, establishing a causal role for temporally precise dopamine neuron signaling incue-reward learning.
