University Relations is no longer accepting submissions to CornellVideo.
Moving forward, we urge you to use the Video On Demand (VOD) service provided by CIT to host your video content. Instructions for uploading to VOD and general information about the platform can be found at the Video on Demand website.
We are working with CIT to determine the best path toward migrating existing videos in the Cornell Video collection to VOD. Owners of Cornell Video collections will be contacted in the coming weeks to facilitate this effort.
It is our intent to sunset CornellVideo on June 30, 2025. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the Digital Experience team at cornellcast@cornell.edu.

Dopamine neurons encode performance error in singing birds
You will be notified by email when the transcript and captions are available. The process may take up to 5 business days. Please contact cornellcast@cornell.edu if you have any questions about this request.
Many performances are learned through trial and error by matching performance to internal goals. Young birds learn to sing by comparing their song with an internal template. Recording from basal ganglia dopamine neurons in singing zebra finches showed that dopamine activity was suppressed after distorted syllables but was increased at the precise moment of the song when a predicted distortion did not occur. Thus dopaminergic error signals can evaluate behaviors that are not learned for reward but instead are learned by matching performance outcomes to internal goals.
Thanks for writing. We will be in touch shortly to address any questions, concerns, or technical difficulties you may have.
