Summary

A theoretical framework is developed that shows how mesencephalic dopamine systems could distribute to their targets a signal that represents information about future expectations and shows that, through a simple influence on synaptic plasticity, fluctuations in dopamine release can act to change the predictions in an appropriate manner.
