Antidepressant treatment shouldn't be a guessing game. RELMED is working towards using advanced research to predict which medication is most likely to help each person along their individual path to recovery.

UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

A study combining group decision-making tasks with fMRI shows that the brain’s dorsomedial prefrontal cortex uses basis functions, similar to those in the visual, motor and spatial domains, to re...

This study demonstrates that hippocampal activity during remote recall is crucial for the reconsolidation of remote memory, also called systems reconsolidation, with new hippocampal engram cells recruited to enable memory updating. The findings reveal that adult neurogenesis supports this recruitment process and the role of mPFC projections to the hippocampus and amygdala in systems reconsolidation.

Biases in information gathering are common in the general population and can reach pathological extremes in paralysing indecisiveness, as in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Here, we adopt a new p...

Individuals differ in how they weight probability and reward information when making risky choices. Here, the authors use magnetoencephalography to test whether such variation is related to how inform...

Human behaviour in a continuous decision making task adapts to the overall statistics of the sensory environment, and these adaptations are also reflected in changes in neural responses to incoming se...

Humans possess a remarkable ability to make decisions within real-world environments that are expansive, complex, and multidimensional. Human cognitiv…

The way in which we process and interpret incoming aversive stimuli (such as pain) from the environment plays a fundamental role in many physical and mental health problems. Many conditions intuitivel...
