Ventral frontostriatal circuitry mediates the computation of reinforcement from symbolic gains and losses

H Tang, R Bartolo, BB Averbeck - Neuron, 2024 - cell.com
Reinforcement learning (RL), particularly in primates, is often driven by symbolic outcomes.
However, it is usually studied with primary reinforcers. To examine the neural mechanisms …
