Yan G, Amita H, Nonomura S, Inoue K, Schultz W, Takada M
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2025 Mar; 122(11):e2426861122. PMID: 40080638
Dopamine (DA) signals to the striatum play critical roles in shaping and sustaining stimulus-reward associations. In primates, however, the dynamics of the DA signals remain unknown since conventional methods are...

Kim J, Zangemeister L, Tobler P, Schultz W, Grabenhorst F
J Neurosci . 2024 Nov; 45(5). PMID: 39592235
Risk is a fundamental factor affecting individual and social economic decisions, but its neural correlates are largely unexplored in the social domain. The amygdala, together with the dorsal anterior cingulate...

Hill D, Hickman R, Al-Mohammad A, Stasiak A, Schultz W
Nat Commun . 2024 Sep; 15(1):8138. PMID: 39289338
The dopamine reward prediction error signal is known to be subjective but has so far only been assessed in aggregate choices. However, personal choices fluctuate across trials and thus reflect...

Schultz W
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2024 May; 121(20):e2316658121. PMID: 38717856
Individual survival and evolutionary selection require biological organisms to maximize reward. Economic choice theories define the necessary and sufficient conditions, and neuronal signals of decision variables provide mechanistic explanations. Reinforcement...

Grabenhorst F, Ponce-Alvarez A, Battaglia-Mayer A, Deco G, Schultz W
Neuron . 2023 Sep; 111(23):3871-3884.e14. PMID: 37725980
Primates make decisions visually by shifting their view from one object to the next, comparing values between objects, and choosing the best reward, even before acting. Here, we show that...

Ferrari-Toniolo S, Schultz W
Neuron . 2023 Sep; 111(22):3683-3696.e7. PMID: 37678250
Behavior-related neuronal signals often vary between neurons, which might reflect the unreliability of individual neurons or a truly heterogeneous code. This notion may also apply to economic ("value-based") choices and...

Burrell M, Pastor-Bernier A, Schultz W
J Neurosci . 2023 Aug; 43(40):6796-6806. PMID: 37625854
All life must solve how to allocate limited energy resources to maximize benefits from scarce opportunities. Economic theory posits decision makers optimize choice by maximizing the subjective benefit (utility) of...

Pastor-Bernier A, Volkmann K, Chi U Seak L, Stasiak A, Plott C, Schultz W
STAR Protoc . 2023 Jun; 4(2):102296. PMID: 37294630
Realistic, everyday rewards contain multiple components, such as taste and size. However, our reward valuations and the associated neural reward signals are single dimensional (vector to scalar transformation). Here, we...

Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci . 2023 Mar; 23(4):1222. PMID: 36991300

Woo J, Aguirre C, Bari B, Tsutsui K, Grabenhorst F, Cohen J, et al.
Cogn Affect Behav Neurosci . 2023 Feb; 23(3):600-619. PMID: 36823249
Despite being unpredictable and uncertain, reward environments often exhibit certain regularities, and animals navigating these environments try to detect and utilize such regularities to adapt their behavior. However, successful learning...
