The phasic dopamine signal maturing: from reward via behavioural activation to formal economic utility

Highlights • Two-component dopamine response structure explains lack of activation by aversiveness. • Other phasic dopamine changes reflect behavioural activation. • Dopamine reward prediction error signalling codes formal economic utility. • Optogenetic dopamine activation affects learning and econ...
