ICAN Seminar -Dr. Arif Hamid
Dopamine waves as a mechanism for spatiotemporal credit assignment. Join the UC Irvine Center for Addiction Neuroscience in a virtual ICAN Seminar featuring Arif Hamid, PhD, from Brown University. Abstract Significant evidence supports the view that dopamine shapes reward-learning by encoding prediction errors. However, it is unknown whether dopamine decision-signals are tailored to the functional specialization…
