summaryWhile dopamine is often considered to convey reward prediction errors, it is also implicated in movement initiation and action selection. Drosophila mushroom bodies are critical for learning and provide a compact circuit in which to study the role of dopamine. Using imaging during naturalistic movement outside the context of a learning paradigm, we demonstrate that dopaminergic inputs multiplex multiple sensorimotor inputs. As an additional example, we show an analysis of dopaminergic signalling during birdsong.
