A Biologically Plausible Architecture of the Striatum to Solve Context-Dependent Reinforcement Learning Tasks

Basal ganglia circuit is an important subcortical system of the brain thought to be responsible for reward-based learning. Striatum, the largest nucleus of the basal ganglia, serves as an input port that maps cortical information. Microanatomical studies show that the striatum is a mosaic of special...
