Satellite Symposium of the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Japan Neuroscience Society, The Basal Ganglia in Health & Disease

Animals, including humans, survive in stochastic and dynamic environment by learning to select an appropriate action, which lead to maximize getting future reward. It is now known that many cotical areas and basal ganglia circuit, including midbrain dopamine system, could be involved in the reward-b
