Prediction error in dopamine neurons during associative learning
2024, Neuroscience ResearchPartial lesion of dopamine neurons of rat substantia nigra impairs conditioned place aversion but spares conditioned place preference
2017, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :A possible explanation is the hypothesis that there are different clusters of dopamine neurons in the SNc, one supporting CPA learning and the other supporting CPP learning. As early as 1980, Chiodo et al. (1980) reported two populations of dopamine neurons in the rat SNc, one that is activated and another that is inhibited by potentially aversive stimuli. More recently, anatomical differences in the responses of midbrain dopamine neurons to rewarding and aversive stimuli have been reported.
The phasic dopamine signal maturing: from reward via behavioural activation to formal economic utility
2017, Current Opinion in NeurobiologyCitation Excerpt :The two-component structure of the dopamine RPE response may explain why dopamine research for >30 years had consistently reported dopamine activations to aversive stimuli that now turn out to result probably from the physical impact of the punisher. Starting with Chiodo et al. [19], followed by ourselves [20,21] and confirmed by others [22–25], subsets of dopamine neurones are activated by airpuffs and loud tones. A recent study used several punishers, various physical intensities, psychophysically assessment of aversive values and multiple linear regression analysis to demonstrate that the ‘aversive’ dopamine activation seems to concern the initial dopamine response component and reflect the physical intensity of punishers rather than their negative aversive value [26•,27].
