Computational perspectives on dopamine function in prefrontal cortex.

Full Abstract

Dopamine and the prefrontal cortex are critical for thought and behaviour. Recently, computational models have tried to elucidate the specific and intricate roles of dopamine in the prefrontal cortex, at the neurophysiological, system and behavioral levels, with varying degrees of success.
