Enhancing reinforcement learning models by including direct and indirect pathways improves performance on striatal dependent tasks.

A major advance in understanding learning behavior stems from experiments showing that reward learning requires dopamine inputs to striatal neurons and arises from synaptic plasticity of cortico-striatal synapses. Numerous reinforcement learning models mimic this dopamine-dependent synaptic plastici...
