 The aim of this article is to present an actor-critic model based on [[https://grey.colorado.edu/CompCogNeuro/index.php/CCNBook/Main|the CCNBook]].  As the description of reinforcement learning in [[https://grey.colorado.edu/CompCogNeuro/index.php/CCNBook/Motor|the Motor chapter]] seems a bit ‘roundabout’, this memo tries to simplify it.  The aim of this article is to present an actor-critic model based on [[https://grey.colorado.edu/CompCogNeuro/index.php/CCNBook/Main|the CCNBook]].  As the description of reinforcement learning in [[https://grey.colorado.edu/CompCogNeuro/index.php/CCNBook/Motor|the Motor chapter]] seems a bit ‘roundabout’, this memo tries to simplify it.

 Since SNc provides with δ, it is supposed to be part of the Critic, and with the Figures 7.2 & 7.4 of the chapter, the Actor contains the loop of Frontal Cortex, Striatum, and Thalamus with the dopamine (δ) input to the Striatum (Figure 1). Since SNc provides with δ, it is supposed to be part of the Critic, and with the Figures 7.2 & 7.4 of the chapter, the Actor contains the loop of Frontal Cortex, Striatum, and Thalamus with the dopamine (δ) input to the Striatum (Figure 1).

 Here, the Actor determines its action based on the state representation (of the environment) in the Frontal Cortex, which is in turn formed with its input (not shown) from other cortical areas, the amygdala, the hippocampus, and other subcortical nuclei (the input sources vary with the area in FC).  While the Frontal Cortex provides with output options, the Striatum selects an option to be outputted. Here, the Actor determines its action based on the state representation (of the environment) in the Frontal Cortex, which is in turn formed with its input (not shown) from other cortical areas, the amygdala, the hippocampus, and other subcortical nuclei (the input sources vary with the area in FC).  While the Frontal Cortex provides with output options, the Striatum selects an option to be outputted.
 The reward r to the Critic is explained the PVLV (Primary Value, Learned Value) model section of the chapter (Figure 7.8).  The reward r to the Critic is explained the PVLV (Primary Value, Learned Value) model section of the chapter (Figure 7.8).

-If you want distinguish all the parts shown in Figure PV.1, you should keep them in your model.  However, if the function of the circuit is the Critic in AC learning, the complication would not be necessary in engineering terms.  Figure 2 shows a model in which the complication is encapsulated (parts such as the amygdala, VTA/SNc, part of the striatum are hidden).  Note that the TD error δ encodes rt+1 +γV(st+1)−V(st), where r stands for reward, V(s) the evaluation of the state s, and γ the discount coefficient.+
