Busch et al. use nonlinear neural manifolds to help humans gain rapid control over a noninvasive brain–computer interface, allowing them to learn how to play a video game with real-time fMRI neurofeed...

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 ...

Prediction without understanding sustained astronomy through a thousand years of epicycles. Artificial intelligence is now offering neuroscience the same deal.

The neuroscience of planning has long been analogized to search algorithms in artificial intelligence (AI), which simulate future actions to guide immediate choices. We argue that advances in both neu...

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

This study investigated the computational mechanisms linking momentary craving and decision-making in people with moderate to high addiction risk levels for alcohol or cannabis use, uncovering differe...

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...

This narrative review explores the idea of understanding mental disorders according to homeostatic property clusters rather than through typical classification systems.

The rapidly evolving field of computational psychiatry enables quantification of specific cognitive processes, and their underlying mechanisms, in a translational and potentially scalable manner, usin...

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

Will brain science deliver answers about consciousness or hit another wall?

Studying how organisms infer indirect threats and understand changing contexts can establish a common framework that bridges species and levels of analysis.
