" Arithmetic and local circuitry underlying dopamine prediction errors": Erratum.

Reports an error in" Arithmetic and local circuitry underlying dopamine prediction errors" by Neir Eshel, Michael Bukwich, Vinod Rao, Vivian Hemmelder, Ju Tian and Naoshige Uchida (Nature, 2015 [Sep][10], Vol 525 [7568], 243-246). In the original article, the x-axis labels of Fig. 3b and d were incorrect; for both panels, the labels should read:“Time from odour onset (s)”. Figure 3 has been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions online.(The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2015-44666-003). Dopamine neurons are thought to facilitate learning by comparing actual and expected reward. Despite two decades of investigation, little is known about how this comparison is made. To determine how dopamine neurons calculate prediction error, we combined optogenetic manipulations with extracellular recordings in the ventral tegmental area while mice engaged in classical conditioning.
