AbstractThe most influential account of phasic dopamine holds that it reports reward prediction errors (RPEs). The RPE-based interpretation of dopamine signaling is, in its original form, probably too simple and fails to explain all the properties of phasic dopamine observed in behaving animals. This Perspective helps to resolve some of the conflicting interpretations of dopamine that currently exist in the literature.
