Funded Activity Summary

Noradrenaline in learning produced by negative prediction error. This project aims to examine the role of the neurotransmitter noradrenaline in error-driven learning. While dopamine may be involved in initial learning about events, updating this learning, notably when reward is omitted, involves noradrenaline. Predictive learning is adaptive; it allows animals to use information in the environment to anticipate and prepare for events. Animals can also update learned associations when confronted with new information and environmental contingencies. This project expects to provide information about how noradrenaline signals reward prediction errors and how predictive information is detected, encoded and modified using cutting edge behavioural and neuroscience tools.
