This study uses cTBS to inhibit the vmPFC and shows reduced Go responses, slower reaction times, and increased reward prediction error signals in subcortical regions.

This study investigates how obesity affects working memory gating and finds that dopaminergic gene variants and amino acid ratios influence cognitive flexibility in high-BMI individuals.

The paper investigates how brain structure, specifically grey matter density in the parietal cortex, mediates age-related increases in model-based control and learning from positive feedback during adolescence to adulthood.

The paper shows that attention to memory enhances recall precision by improving neural fidelity in specific brain regions, particularly the left superior temporal sulcus.

This study shows that dopamine enhances model-free credit assignment by boosting retrospective model-based inference, with effects linked to working memory and a trade-off with model-based credit assignment.

This study investigates how baseline dopamine levels influence the effect of L-DOPA on model-based and model-free control in decision-making tasks.

This study finds that schizophrenia patients show increased choice switching in reward-based tasks, linked to heightened beliefs about environmental volatility and greater prefrontal cortex activity.

This study investigates how dopamine affects cortical dynamics during cognitive tasks, showing that it increases BOLD signal variability and alters functional connectivity, which correlates with individual differences in cognitive performance improvements.
