Phasic Nucleus Accumbens Dopamine Encodes Risk-Based Decision-Making Behavior

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: To optimize behavior organisms evaluate the risks and benefits of available choices. The mesolimbic dopamine (DA) system encodes information about response costs and reward delays that bias choices. However, it remains unclear whether subjective value associated with risk-taking behavior is encoded by DA release.
