The paper shows that irrelevant features interfere with value-based decisions, and this interference correlates with psychiatric symptoms related to substance abuse and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

This study shows that the primate orbitofrontal cortex is specifically involved in value-based decisions but not perceptual decisions, indicating functional specialization.

This study uses Neuropixel recordings in rhesus macaques to show how frontostriatal circuits implement cognitive control through distinct neural dynamics during automatic and deliberative decisions.

The paper investigates how the primate hippocampus and orbitofrontal cortex interact to enable context-dependent decision-making in a state-dependent choice task.

The paper investigates how ACC theta activity relates to motivation in rats, finding that ACC signals predict changes in VTA theta during reward pursuit but not during effortful trials.
