reinforcement learning and reward prediction. In particular the phasic firing of DA midbrain neurons has been interpreted as an important learning signal that may drive adaptive processes in DA-innervated target [...] disorders. One of the major DA target areas is the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) which itself has been implicated in associative rule learning and extinction. DA is known to modulate long-term-potentiation
