Two dimensions of value: dopamine neurons represent reward but not aversiveness.
نویسنده
چکیده
Whereas reward (appetitiveness) and aversiveness (punishment) have been distinguished as two discrete dimensions within psychology and behavior, physiological and computational models of their neural representation have treated them as opposite sides of a single continuous dimension of "value." Here, I show that although dopamine neurons of the primate ventral midbrain are activated by evidence for reward and suppressed by evidence against reward, they are insensitive to aversiveness. This indicates that reward and aversiveness are represented independently as two dimensions, even by neurons that are closely related to motor function. Because theory and experiment support the existence of opponent neural representations for value, the present results imply four types of value-sensitive neurons corresponding to reward-ON (dopamine), reward-OFF, aversive-ON, and aversive-OFF.

متن کاملUncovering the neurochemistry of reward and aversiveness
In a recent issue of Science was published an interesting report regarding the role of dopaminergic neurons on reward and aversiveness (Fiorillo, 2013). In contrast to what is claimed by some physiological and computational models (e.g., Schultz et al., 1997), the author provides a number of arguments to support the suggestion that reward and punishment have to be considered as two distinct neu...

متن کاملThe phasic dopamine signal maturing: from reward via behavioural activation to formal economic utility.
The phasic dopamine reward prediction error response is a major brain signal underlying learning, approach and decision making. This dopamine response consists of two components that reflect, initially, stimulus detection from physical impact and, subsequenttly, reward valuation; dopamine activations by punishers reflect physical impact rather than aversiveness. The dopamine reward signal is di...

Ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine neurons play an important role in reward mechanisms of food intake, and VTA dopamine receptors exist on the terminal of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons and regulate GABA and glutamate release. To our knowledge, there is no evidence to show that VTA D1 dopamine receptors play a role in regular chow intake. In this paper, the effect of SKF38393, a D1 rece...
