Neuronal circuits underlying individual learning trajectories

Individuals learn in drastically diverse ways, whether at school, at work or when pursuing their hobby. In their journey from naïve to expert individuals discover distinct strategies for learning, forming diverse learning trajectories. However, the neuronal circuit computations that account for these learning trajectories are poorly understood. My lab's recent work found that in learning to make visual decisions from naïve to expert mice transition through sequence of strategies, showing substantial individual diversity in their learning trajectories. We discovered that dopamine signals in the dorsal striatum act as teaching signals that guide individual learning trajectories. Building up…
