The pharmacology of precision. Please see [92] for details.
| Neurotransmitter system | Functional role | Neuroanatomy |
|---|---|---|
| Cholinergic | Encoding the precision of outcomes given hidden states: (c.f., Attention and expected uncertainty [218, 219]) | Nucleus basalis of Meynert |
| Noradrenergic | Encoding the precision of state transitions (c.f., Volatility and unexpected uncertainty [220]) | Locus coeruleus |
| Dopaminergic | Encoding the precision of beliefs about policies (c.f. Action selection [221]) | Substantia nigra pars compacta, Ventral tegmental area |
