This paper shows that stochastic decision policies can be optimal when considering the cost of control, using sequential sampling and recovering policies in macaques.

This study identifies neural encoding of the decisional reference point in macaques, showing that only the ventral bank of the anterior cingulate cortex encodes it at the population level.

The paper investigates how early versus late noise affects context-dependent choice behavior in decision-making, showing opposing effects on choice accuracy.

This paper identifies a pathological elevation of the decisional reference point in depression patients, linking it to disease severity and proposing a virtual diagnostic test.

This study shows humans use divisive normalization in two different choice environments, suggesting it is a fixed cognitive mechanism.

The paper investigates how subjective value representations in the human orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) are influenced by past and present context during economic decision-making using sEEG data.

This paper introduces a hybrid neural circuit model that combines normalized representation and winner-take-all dynamics through disinhibition, capturing decision-making behaviors and working memory.

This study shows that C. elegans makes food choices as if maximizing subjective value, using a utility function similar to humans and requiring dopamine signaling.

The paper investigates inhibitory plasticity in mouse auditory cortex, finding that SST+ interneuron inputs show the most potentiation and contribute to decision accuracy under noise.

This paper develops a task to quantify the subjective cost of self-control by measuring how much people are willing to pay to avoid exerting self-control in tempting situations.
