Disentangling frontal-striatal contributions to exploration.

Ainsworth M., Buckley MJ.

In this issue of Neuron, Treuting et al.1 present a dissociation between the way anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and striatum use prediction errors to shape exploration in complementary ways, with ACC tracking prediction errors to reduce uncertainty regarding available choices and striatum using prediction errors to amplify value estimates.
