“…This view, like a DA/reward signal view, accounts for the disruptive effect of reduced DA transmission on incentive motivation [121,38,60,100,129]. However, in contrast to a DA/ reward signal view, the present framework also accounts for (1) the promiscuous DA response to a wide range of salient and arousing stimuli [57], (2) the fact that disruptions in DA activity can impair animals' abilities to learn about aversive events [1,100], and (3) the observation that disruptions in DA activity impair some, but not all, aspects of reward processing [12,18,90,100]. From the present view, orbitofrontal and amygdala reward (and aversive) signals send projections to brain areas that are subject to DA modulation, but also to areas that are not subject to DA modulation, therefore, some (e.g.…”
