A Neural Correlate of Predicted and Actual Reward-Value Information in Monkey Pedunculopontine Tegmental and Dorsal Raphe Nucleus during Saccade Tasks

Figure 1

Simplified cortico-basal ganglia circuitry with dopaminergic, cholinergic, and serotonergic innervation. The main cortico-basal ganglia circuit is highlighted by the dashed rectangle and the gray-shaded boxes. Midbrain dopaminergic neurons receive inhibitory input from basal ganglia nuclei and project to the striatum and cerebral cortices. The PPTN and DRN interact with dopaminergic neurons and basal ganglia nuclei. Here, we consider only the major routes by which the basal ganglia and neuromodulators are interconnected. NAc: nucleus accumbens, SNr: substantia nigra pars reticulate, GP: globus pallidus, VP: ventral pallidum, SNc: substantia nigra pars compacta, VTA: ventral tegmental area, DRN: dorsal raphe nucleus, PPTN: pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus.
