Dopamine-mediated learning and switching in cortico-striatal circuit explain behavioral changes in reinforcement learning.
The basal ganglia (BG) are thought to play a crucial role in reinforcement learning. Central to the learning mechanism are dopamine D1 and D2 receptors located in the cortico-striatal synapses. However, it is still unclear how this dopamine-mediated synaptic plasticity is deployed and coordinated du...
