Diverse sources of reward value signals in the basal ganglia nuclei transmitted to the lateral habenula in the monkey

The lateral habenula (LHb) plays an important role in motivational decision making. Neurons in the primate LHb signal negative ‘reward prediction errors’ and inhibit midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons. These negative reward prediction error signals in the LHb are, at least partly, provided by a distinct...
