This work introduces a novel approach to deep meta-reinforcement learning, which is a system that is trained using one RL algorithm, but whose recurrent dynamics implement a second, quite separate RL procedure. The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) has been one of the principal brain regions of empirical study in this regard. Prefrontal cortex as a meta-reinforcement learning system. A critical present objective is thus to develop deep RL methods that can adapt rapidly to new tasks. Recently, AI systems have mastered a range of video-games such as Atari classics Breakout and Pong. Prefrontal cortex as a meta-reinforcement learning system Wang et al. Moreover, such a brain-inspired meta-controller may provide an advancement for learning architectures in robotics. Meta-RL and the Prefrontal Cortex However, this canonical model has been put under strain by a number of findings in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) .

Nat Neurosci 19:356-365 The learning system is thus required to engage in ongoing inference and behavioral adjustment. In contrast, animals can learn new tasks in just a few trials, benefiting from their prior knowledge about the world. Prefrontal cortex as a meta-reinforcement learning system Abstract Over the past 20 years, neuroscience research on reward-based learning has converged on a canonical model, under which the neurotransmitter dopamine 'stamps in' associations between situations, actions and rewards by modulating the strength of synaptic connections between neurons. Adolescence is a period during which there are important changes in behavior and the structure of the brain. Deep reinforcement learning (deep RL) has been successful in learning sophisticated behaviors automatically; however, the learning process requires a huge number of trials. In recent years deep reinforcement learning (RL) systems have attained superhuman performance in a number of challenging task domains. This work proposes a simple neural network framework based on a modification of the mixture of experts architecture to model the prefrontal cortex's ability to flexibly encode and use multiple disparate schemas, and shows how incorporation of gating naturally leads to transfer learning and robust memory savings. Pronounced deficits in prefrontal cortex function were indeed corroborated by an inability of most patients with schizophrenia to successfully learn to discriminate . TLDR: using A3C to learn an LSTM seems to be a good model of how prefrontal cortex works ;-) Edit: They claim that cool phenomena emerge from such an approach, e.g. Wang, J. X. et al. . In mammalian brain anatomy, the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is the cerebral cortex which covers the front part of the frontal lobe.The PFC contains the Brodmann areas BA8, BA9, BA10, BA11, BA12, BA13, BA14, BA24, BA25, BA32, BA44, BA45, BA46, and BA47.. Distributional reinforcement learning in prefrontal cortex . Glascher J, Hampton AN, O'Doherty JP. Most states allow people to drive at 16, federal law allows voting at 18 and drinking at 21.

In this manuscript, we use theoretical modeling to show how improvements in working memory and reinforcement learning that occur during adolescence can be explained by the reduction in synaptic connectivity in prefrontal cortex that occurs during a similar period. Neural Netw 16:5-9. where motor control, drive and cognition interface. All these are part of the arbitrary, intrinsically-complex, outside world. But as impressive as this performance is, AI still relies on the equivalent of thousands of hours of gameplay to reach and surpass the performance of human video game players.

Meta Learning to Inform Biological Systems Canonical Model of Reward-Based Learning Deep reinforcement learning (RL) methods have driven impressive advances in artificial intelligence in recent years, exceeding human performance in domains ranging from Atari to Go to no-limit poker. the prefrontal cortex, to operate as its own free-standing learning . The idea that the prefrontal cortex isn't relying on slow synaptic weight changes to learn rule structures, but is using abstract model-based information directly encoded in dopamine, offers a more satisfactory reason for its versatility. Naturally, the human brain realizes these cognitive skills by prefrontal cortex which is a part of the neocortex. These require recursive task processing and meta-cognitive reasoning mechanism. 12 Highly Influenced PDF [] [Wang JX. Under the U.S. legal system, age is a critical part of how laws are written and justice is meted out. META-REINFORCEMENT LEARNING: A NEW PARADIGM FOR REWARD-DRIVEN LEARNING IN THE BRAIN Jane X. Wang1*, . 1063. AbstractplanningIt has long been recognized that the standard planning algorithms used in model-based reinforcement learning (RL) are too computationally . We introduce a task-remapping paradigm, where subjects solve multiple reinforcement learning (RL) problems differing in structural or sensory properties. The two key receptors that are situated in the prefrontal cortex are dopamine D1 receptor and alpha-2A adrenoreceptors. The idea that the prefrontal cortex isn't relying on slow synaptic weight changes to learn rule structures, but is using abstract model-based information directly encoded in dopamine, offers a more satisfactory reason for its versatility. When distributional RL is considered as a model of the dopamine system, these points translate into two testable predictions. Here, the dopamine system trains another part of the brain, the prefrontal cortex, to operate as its own free-standing learning system. Here, the dopamine system trains another part of the brain, the prefrontal cortex, to operate as its own free-standing learning system. A highly developed line of work has unearthed the role of striatal dopamine in model-free learning, while the prefrontal cortex (PFC) appears to critically subserve model-based learning. Highly recommended read even if you don't grok the neuroscience bits. . Four effects were tested: 1. This new perspective accommodates the findings that motivated the standard model, but also deals gracefully with a wider range of observations, providing a fresh foundation for future research. based system of diagnosis and treatment for mental illness is characterizing the brain circuitry that underlies the critical do-mains of social, cognitive, and affective function that are dis-rupted in psychiatric disorders. Wrote the code from . Meta-Reinforcement Learning "we should stop trying to find simple ways to think about the contents of minds, such as simple ways to think about space, objects, multiple agents, or symmetries. Well, the meta-learning trained a recurrent neural network (representing the prefrontal cortex) using standard deep reinforcement learning techniques (representing the role of dopamine) and then . Prefrontal cortex as a meta-reinforcement learning system. Schweighofer N, Doya K (2003) Meta-learning in Paus T (2001) Primate anterior cingulate cortex: reinforcement learning. Third, accumulating evidence supports the notion that the prefrontal cortex implements metacontrol to flexibly choose between different learning strategies, such as between model-based and model-free RL (7, 8) and between incremental and one-shot learning . The two ingredients that are necessary are (1) a learning system that has some form of short-term memory, and (2) a training environment that exposes the learning system not to a single task, but instead to a sequence or distribution of interrelated tasks. This produces adaptivity closer to rat behavioral performance and constitutes a computational proposition of the role of the rat prefrontal cortex in strategy shifting. 2009; 19 (2):483-495. bhn098.
