Fantastic @naoshigeuchida.bsky.social ! Congrats!

Most definitely (and I think it is at least "incomplete"), but that's true of all discoveries. That's somewhat orthogonal to impact, predictive power, and general inspiration for new work.

The RPE hypothesis of dopamine function. Hard to think of a basic theoretical mechanism that had a bigger impact in the field, except maybe the Hodgkin-Huxley model

Always the best work Nic - absolutely great!

Congrats Beth! 👏🏽 🎉

Thanks Phil!

Somehow I wasn't following you yet here 😂😂😂

This has been in the pipeline for while, so I am really thrilled it came out. I also thank the reviewers, which made interesting suggestions and really helped refined the discussion during the review process

These findings support a "model-based" interpretation for dopamine signaling, and suggest that dopamine signals, especially in the nucleus accumbens, reflect a domain-general, or multi-dimensional, prediction error

Em português: junto com meu colaborador, Anderson Herculano, aprovamos um projeto do CNPq para colaborações com brasileiros no exterior, como eu. Estou muito feliz pela oportunidade de colaborar com a UFPA, onde fiz minha graduação, agora como PI do meu laboratório nos EUA
