Dopamine lovers! Excited to share our preprint showing that dopamine reports belief updates, but has a limited causal influence on policy update during inference-guided behaviour 📜
biorxiv.org
Dopamine is thought to carry reward prediction errors (RPEs), which update values and hence modify future behaviour. However, updating values is not always the most efficient way of adapting to...

For this summer, we will be inviting three undergraduate interns to support our ongoing software development projects for processing large scale movies. Last year's project: https://t.co/jlBuaCkP7Z Details below

Due to rapid progress in optical imaging technologies, contemporary neural calcium imaging studies can monitor the dynamics of 10,000 or more neurons at once in the brains of awake behaving...

We have an RA/tech post in Oxford for rodent neuro. Thomas Akam is also advertising for an RA to work on related projects. Mice making flexible decisions. Hippocampal/frontal recordings/manips. Would could be cooler? https://t.co/0jzwU9QqfF

Fun evening talking about dopamine
Come join us at the #Dopamine Boost Booth at the #windowtothebrain at the #banburymuseum for some brain tickeling games! Stay tuned for more updates! @OxExpPsy @OxfordWIN @BanburyMuseum @UniofOxford

Thanks to you, all the families I posted about have now found their sponsors! 🎉 I need Twitter to do its magic one more time for a very lovely family from Donetsk, one of the most affected regions. The mother was an accountant and she has two very cute kids 8 and 10-year-old.

Excited to share our Perspective on cerebellar reward signals. We discuss the discovery of these signals and progress we and our colleagues have made on understanding them. Hope you enjoy! #cerebellum4eva
We are excited to share our Perspective in @NeuroCellPress discussing why cerebellar reward signals may be important for learning. Here’s a personal history explaining what led to this Perspective, and why we think these signals are so interesting. https://t.co/K48ooU75R7

Excited to (finally!) have the last big chunk of my PhD work with Mark Walton up online in preprint form: Nucleus accumbens D1-receptors regulate and focus transitions to reward-seeking action
biorxiv.org
While it is well established that dopamine transmission is integral in mediating the influence of reward expectations on reward-seeking actions, the precise causal role of dopamine transmission in...

You may not always get what you see. Interested to know why? Join Mark Walton and your ViDA community to learn and hear about asymmetric reporting and updating value by dopamine during inference-guided choice.

I’ve used pyControl a fair bit, both back in Oxford and now for a project here at Janelia. It’s always been a pleasure to use - don’t know of a better python-based approach for running behaviour!
