Does phasic dopamine release cause policy updates?

Francis Carter, Marie‐Pierre Cossette, Ivan Trujillo‐Pisanty, Vasilios Pallikaras, Yannick-André Breton, Kent L. Conover, Jill Caplan, Pavel Solis, Jacques Voisard, Alexandra Yaksich, Peter Shizgal

This study challenges the idea that phasic dopamine release directly causes policy updates by showing stable work rates in rats despite repeated dopamine stimulation.

The trade-off between pulse duration and power in optical excitation of midbrain dopamine neurons approximates Bloch's law

Vasilios Pallikaras, Francis Carter, David N. Velázquez-Martínez, Andreas Arvanitogiannis, Peter Shizgal

The paper investigates the relationship between pulse duration and optical power in optogenetic stimulation of dopamine neurons, finding a constant product of power and duration for reward seeking.
