Using computational models, the researchers studied how the brain’s reward-learning system functions in those with depression ...

A brain signal that lights up when we anticipate rewards may hold the secret to helping people overcome depression, and ...

New research highlights how the brain's reward-learning system can guide personalized treatments for depression.

Thus, dopamine neurons code errors in the prediction of both the occurrence and the time of rewards. In this respect, their responses resemble the teaching signals that have been employed in ...

In a study in the Journal of Affective Disorders, Fralin Biomedical Research Institute scientists Pearl Chiu and Brooks Casas investigate how brain signals involved in reward learning might help ...
