Reviewer1: Looks good, here's some minor comments
Reviewer2: I like the paper but you should address a couple minor points
Reviewer3: An interesting read, here are some small suggestions
Editor: Dear Human Garbage, the reviewers all had substantial concerns...

you've not shown your findings generalize across tasks, unless you have ;)

wanted to come on here just to say this, but say @[email protected] has already said it.

I would love to see papers stop using motor control in paper titles when they only look at one task. Locomotion/posture folks rarely do this, but the 2d reaching literature does this a lot.

@[email protected] IMO, the best use of the term "motor control" is to define the field of study concerned with the control of limb/body dynamics. Whenever "motor control" is used to refer to something more specific than the field itself, a more precise, less ambiguous term almost always exists.

Very excited to post our labโ€™s first paper where we propose a new theory of learning and dopamine function https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abq6740. Hereโ€™s a few folks in our lab being taught by my daughter to dance to a โ€œdopamineโ€ song to celebrate 1/30

Mesolimbic dopamine release conveys causal associations

Animals learns retrospectively that there are causal associations of conditioned stimuli and reward.
