In this issue of Neuron, Xie et al. record and manipulate dopaminergic activity as mice engage in parental care. Dopaminergic prediction error signals previously implicated in food rewards were associated with retrieving isolated pups to the nest, showing that neural mechanisms long associated with reinforcement learning can be repurposed for aspects of parenting.
在本期《神经元》中，谢等人记录并操纵了小鼠在进行亲代养育时的多巴胺能活动。先前与食物奖励相关的多巴胺预测误差信号与将孤立的幼崽带回巢穴有关，这表明与强化学习长期相关的神经机制可以被重新用于亲代养育的某些方面。
