title: Dopamine Neurons, Input Integration, and Reward Prediction Errors: E Pluribus Unum.
abstract: Dopamine neurons encode errors in reward prediction, yet understanding how they integrate information from different subcortical inputs to generate these signals has remained elusive. In this issue of Neuron, Tian et al. (2016) shed new light onto these underlying mechanisms.
