- What is reinforced by phasic dopamine signals? (2008, background): “Accumulating evidence suggests that areas of prefrontal cortex have the capacity to represent the economic value of stimuli (Padoa-Schioppa and Assad, 2006), which, if related to reward expectations could generate genuine reward prediction errors (Potts et al., 2006).”
- Frontal Theta Links Prediction Errors to Behavioral Adaptation in Reinforcement Learning (2009, neutral): “The FRN is larger to unexpected or infrequent negative feedback (Cohen et al., 2007; Donkers et al., 2005; Holroyd et al., 2003; Potts et al., 2006; Yasuda et al., 2004; but see Cohen et al., 2007), fitting with a reinforcement learning account.”
- What is reinforcement sensitivity? Neuroscience paradigms for approach‐avoidance process theories of personality (2008, background): “Echoing the single-cell recordings in which DA neurons show enhanced firing after a non-predicted reward and a sharp depression after a non-predicted non-reward (see Schultz, 1998), Potts et al. (2006) observed a positive component (P2a) when a reward followed a cue associated with”
- The feedback-related negativity (FRN) revisited: New insights into the localization, meaning and network organization (2014, background): “Several studies localized its origin along the anterior cingulate cortex (Bellebaum and Daum, 2008; Gruendler et al., 2011; Hewig et al., 2007; Mathewson et al., 2008; Miltner et al., 1997; Potts et al., 2006; Zhou et al., 2010).”
- Ventral striatal and medial prefrontal BOLD activation is correlated with reward-related electrocortical activity: A combined ERP and fMRI study (2011, methodology): “In particular, source localization techniques have identified either the mPFC/ACC (Gehring and Willoughby, 2002; Miltner et al., 1997; Potts et al., 2006) or the dorsal striatum (Foti et al., 2011; Martin et al., 2009) as likely neural generators of the FN.”
