Neuron. 2021 Jun 16;109(12):1915-1917. doi: 10.1016/j.neuron.2021.05.033.

Abstract

Heterogeneity is an increasingly appreciated feature of dopamine signaling in the striatum. Hamid et al. (2021) leverage a variety of imaging techniques to reveal striking spatiotemporal patterns of dopamine signals in mouse dorsal striatum. Time will tell what this means for reinforcement learning in the brain.
