Dopaminergic firing is correlated to the magnitude of the r

Dopaminergic firing is correlated _________ to the magnitude of the reward.

a) positively; as the size of the reward increases, so does the firing rate

b) negatively; as the size of the reward increases, the firing rate decreases

c) positively and negatively; depending on the type of reward, the firing rate may increase or decrease with an increase in the reward size

d) none of the above; there is no correlation between reward magnitude and dopaminergic firing

Please explain

Solution

Dopaminergic firing is crrelated positivly , as the size of reward increases , so does the firing rate to the magnitude of the reward. when a subject expact to rescive that large award than the dopmine shows sharp increase in the firing rates.
