Abstract

Friedman et al. find that specialized regions of the striatum, a key part of the brain's movement and motivation control system, are essential for learning about the values of good and bad outcomes of decisions. The learning signals in striosomes scale according to subjective value and are vulnerable to decline with aging and in neurodegenerative disorders.
