AbstractWe recorded dopamine release signals in centromedial and centrolateral sectors of the striatum as mice learned consecutive versions of visual cue-outcome conditioning tasks. Dopamine release responses differed for the centromedial and centrolateral sites. In neither sector could these be accounted for by classic reinforcement learning alone as classically applied to the activity of nigral dopamine-containing neurons.
