How prefrontal circuits build lasting memories and shape the ways experience guides behavior.

Resilience versus susceptibility to stress confers sensitivity to distinct types of regret mediated by different brain regions.

Mice spontaneously form leader and follower roles during cooperation, and the medial prefrontal cortex encodes these role dynamics and an egocentric social value map of the partner’s position.

Mice are motivated to seek information of no extrinsic value. Recording neural activity in orbitofrontal cortex reveals a representation of the value of information that is distinct from the value of ...

Food intake is governed by two interacting drives. The homeostatic hunger drive regulates food intake to fulfill caloric needs while the hedonic drive promotes intake of palatable foods outside of cal...

In a nonhuman primate model, Fujimoto et al. show that deep brain stimulation promotes white matter remodeling and reorganizes brain-wide functional networks, detailing a mechanism through which this ...

Scientific Data - Dataset of cortical and subcortical single neuron activity during value-based tasks in macaque monkey

In order to relate neural dynamics to cognitive computations, it is critical to determine whether subjects are employing behavioral strategies that ac…

Nature Neuroscience - Jang et al. measured dopamine and acetylcholine release in the striatum of rats performing a decision-making task and found that the relative timing of cholinergic and...

The Japanese media sensation has inspired generations of researchers in fields as diverse as evolution, biodiversity and research integrity.

If neuroscience is serious about building general principles of brain function, cross-species dialogue must become a core organizing principle.

The visual cortex contains millions of neurons, whose combined activity forms a population code representing visual stimuli. There is, however, a discrepancy between our understanding of this code at ...
