Rapid learning, memory, and generalization are often attributed to circuits of the neocortex and hippocampus, but their specific role remains unclear. To examine these cognitive abilities together in ...

Behaviour of human participants in a prey-pursuit task reflects dynamic blending of goal-specific control policies, with hippocampus estimating latent states, anterior cingulate cortex orchestrating p...

O’Neill, Posani and colleagues show that while single amygdala neurons encode multiple emotional state-related variables (for example, valence, fear and safety), population-level geometry can enable o...

Eye blinks are among the largest physiological artefacts in electroencephalography and are typically removed from the recordings. Yet their timing may carry information about cognition. Here, we asked...

Past work has documented the importance of formal collaboration, particularly coauthorship, in increasing research productivity and innovation. How...

Across species, prefrontal and striatal neurons exhibit time-dependent ramping activity, defined as a consistent monotonic change in firing rate across temporal intervals. However, it is unclear if ra...

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

Counterfactual thinking — considering what could have come of choosing the other path — can facilitate inference. Previous studies have demonstrated t…

Successful behavioral adaptation requires an ongoing assessment of rewarding outcomes based on one’s current state. A frontocentral ERP associated with reward feedback, the reward positivity (RewP), h...

The first published paper from EEGManyLabs’ replication project nullifies a null result that had complicated a famous reinforcement learning theory.
