Role of the site of synaptic competition and the balance of learning forces for Hebbian encoding of probabilistic Markov sequences

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2015
The majority of distinct sensory and motor events occur as temporally ordered sequences with rich probabilistic structure. Sequences can be characterized by the probability of transitioning from the current state to upcoming states (forward probability),

Pleasure seeking and birdsong [PDF]

Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2011
Songbirds sing at high rates within multiple contexts, suggesting that they are highly motivated to communicate and that the act of singing itself may be rewarding. Little is known about the neural regulation of the motivation to communicate. Dopamine and opioid neuropeptides play a primary role in reward seeking and sensory pleasure.
