Dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens core signals perceived saliency Highlights d NAc core dopamine only mimics reward prediction error in select reward contexts d RPE does not model dopamine release during negative reinforcement d Dopamine signaling in the NAc core does not support valence-free prediction error d NAc core dopamine tracks valence-free perceived saliency in all conditions
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
