Cholinergic reinforcement and temporal learning in rodent visual cortex

Roach EB, Hussain Shuler MG (2011) Cholinergic reinforcement and temporal learning in rodent visual cortex. Neuroscience 2011 Abstracts 608.16. Society for Neuroscience, Washington, DC. Summary: The idea that neuromodulators act as reinforcement signals has an intricate scientific history, including the well-characterized analogue of prediction error relayed by midbrain dopamine neurons. Neuromodulators released from discrete nuclei […]
