TWiN 40: Dopamine organizes behavior's syllables

Category: Science & Medicine
Duration: 01:04:17

Description:

Tim takes TWiN through two studies on the role of dopamine: that syllables are natural units of spontaneous behavior used by the brain to structure action, and that mesolimbic dopamine release conveys causal associations but not reward prediction errors, thereby challenging the dominant theory of reward learning.
