Action versus valence in decision making

Highlights • Pavlovian responses couple action and valence. • This coupling interferes with instrumental learning and performance. • Action dominates valence in the striatum and dopaminergic midbrain. • Boosting dopamine enhances the dominance of action over valence in the striatum. • Boosting dopam...

Summary:Highlights • Pavlovian responses couple action and valence. • This coupling interferes with instrumental learning and performance. • Action dominates valence in the striatum and dopaminergic midbrain. • Boosting dopamine enhances the dominance of action over valence in the striatum. • Boosting dopamine decreases the extent of the behavioral coupling between action and valence.
