Dopamine, Reward Prediction Error, and Economics (2008, methodology): “Necessary and sufficient condition for the case of countable domains have been provided by Tversky (1964), Scott (1964), Adams (1965), and Fishburn (1970)”
High impact running improves learning. (2007, background): “Dopamine is part of the internal reward system (Schultz, 2002), regulates the prefrontal cortical circuitry underlying working memory (Castner & Goldman-Rakic, 2004; Marie & Defer, 2003) and modulates arousal and attention (Nutt & Fellman, 1984).”
Activity in human reward-sensitive brain areas is strongly context dependent (2005, result): “The scaling of the reward by the range of possible outcomes is consistent with reward prediction error theory, according to which brain areas are sensitive to deviations from expected reward rather than to absolute magnitude of reward (Holroyd and Coles, 2002; Montague and Berns, 2002; Schultz, 2002”
Processing of social and monetary rewards in the human striatum. (2008, background): “Third, although the neurotransmitter dopamine is well known to play a pivotal role in reward processing in animals (Bayer and Glimcher, 2005; Schultz, 2002; Wise, 2004), it is yet to be shown which neurotransmitter functions in social reward processing in humans.”
Affective consciousness: Core emotional feelings in animals and humans. (2005, methodology): “Surely there have to be critical processes inside our brains, and it is increasingly unlikely that they can be encapsulated by the concept of reinforcement or even more subtle variants such as ‘‘reward prediction errors’’ (Schultz, 1998, 2000, 2002).”
Navigating Into the Future or Driven by the Past (2013, background): “, physiological need), the probability or expectation of a given outcome, the occurrence of a better- or worse-than-expected predicted error, and the absolute risk and expected value of given actions (Craig, 2009; Grabenhorst & Rolls, 2011; Kringelbach & Berridge, 2009; Preuschoff, Bossaerts, & Quar”
Risk-Sensitive Reinforcement Learning (2013, background): “RL is a well-developed model not only for human decision-making, but also for models of free choice in non-humans, because similar computational structures, such as dopaminergically mediated reward prediction errors, have been identiﬁed across species (Schultz et al., 1997; Schultz, 2002).”
Model of autism: increased ratio of excitation/inhibition in key neural systems (2003, background): “…reward, novelty and other factors, with these modulated cortical changes mediated through secondary neurotransmitters delivered from subcortical nuclei, such as acetylcholine, dopamine, norepinephrine or serotonin (Bao et al. 2001, in press; Kilgard & Merzenich 1998; Schultz 2002; Weinberger 1998).”
Solving the distal reward problem through linkage of STDP and dopamine signaling (2007, methodology): “The histogram in Figure 4b shows the response of the entire VTAp group on the last trial, and the spike raster shows a typical response of a single neuron in the group in 100 consecutive trials, which is similar to the in vivo--recorded responses of midbrain neurons to unexpected reward, novel, and ”
Mental fatigue: costs and benefits. (2008, background): “…to depend on the predictability of the reward, such that unpredicted rewards elicit DA activation (positive prediction error) and an unpredicted nonreward induces a depression in DA activity (negative prediction error), while fully predicted rewards do not elicit DA activity (Schultz, 2002).”
Ever-changing cycles of musical pleasure: The role of dopamine and anticipation. (2012, background): “Prediction errors reflected in the activity of dopamine neurons are bidirectional (Schultz, 2002, 2010), in the sense that positive events result in increased firing and negative events result in decreased firing.”
Striatal plasticity and basal ganglia circuit function (2008, background): “, 1989), and (2) dopamine as a learning signal that gates synaptic plasticity (Schultz, 2002).”
