Complex cognitive processes require sophisticated local processing but also interactions between distant brain regions. It is therefore critical to be able to study distant interactions between local computations and the neural representations they act on. Here we report two anatomically and computationally distinct learning signals in lateral orbitofrontal cortex (lOFC) and the dopaminergic ventral midbrain (VM) that predict trial-by-trial changes to a basic internal model in hippocampus. To measure local computations during learning and their interaction with neural representations, we coupled computational fMRI with trial-by-trial fMRI suppression. We find that suppression in a medial temporal lobe network changes trial-by-trial in proportion to stimulus-outcome associations. During interleaved choice trials, we identify learning signals that relate to outcome type in lOFC and to reward value in VM. These intervening choice feedback signals predicted the subsequent change to hippocampal suppression, suggesting a convergence of signals that update the flexible representation of stimulus-outcome associations. Probe and choice trials assess the encoding and updating of an internal model Learning signals are found in orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and ventral midbrain (VM) Probe trials reveal the model’s neural instantiation in the medial temporal lobe Dynamic changes to this instantiation are predicted by OFC and VM learning signals Boorman et al. reveal neural encoding of an internal model comprising probabilistic transitions between visual stimuli and reward types in a medial temporal lobe network. Changes to its encoding are predicted by two distant computationally and anatomically distinct learning signals.
