More recent studies in monkeys by Schultz and colleagues have totally reversed this view (Ljungberg et al., 1991, 1992 Mirenowicz and Schultz, 1994, 1996). When monkeys are not first overtrained in the task, then the dopamine cells recorded in the ventral mesencephalon respond to various aspects of the task. Exactly when the dopamine cells fire a burst of action potentials depends on the state of training in the task (Ljungberg et al., 1992). While the monkeys are naive to the situation the cells respond about 200 ms after the delivery of a reward (Mirenowicz and Schultz, 1994). As the behavior is acquired, this burst of dopamine release is timed to follow stimuli that have come to predict the arrival of the reward, even if the trigger is a movement of the animal itself and not an explicit external cue. As the task is learned, the dopamine burst moves to earlier and earlier predictors of reward (Schultz et al., 1993). Importantly, if a reward is omitted in some trials, the dopamine cells are silenced at the point where an expected reward is not delivered (Mirenowicz and Schultz, 1996). These results appear remarkably consistent with the modern learning theory concepts of reward (Schultz et al., 1993, 1997 Schultz, 1997, 2000 Waelti et al., 2001).
