Abstract. Studying subjective experience is hard. We believe that pain is not identical to nociception, nor pleasure a computational reward signal, nor fea

This study identified state and trait interoceptive disruptions in FND patients. Convergent between- and within-group findings contextualize the pathophysiological role of cingulo-insular (salience ne...

By examining neural responses from tree shrews performing hierarchical decision tasks with rule reversals, the authors identify a thalamocortical mechanism for regulating cognitive flexibility.
