Temporally distinct reward and action prediction error signals during value learning and habit formation

Effective decision making in stochastic environments requires balancing flexible, value-based learning with a stabilising influence of habitual action selection. While dopamine-mediated reward prediction errors (RPEs) are a well-established component of value learning, the mechanisms underlying habit- like behaviour re...

Transition from model-free to structure-informed decision making in dynamic environments

Reinforcement learning theory formulates distinct decision-making strategies, including reactive model-free and deliberative model-based strategies. This study investigates how mice adjust their reinforcement learning strategies while learning decision-making in dynamic environments. Unlike previous studies that focuse...
