This study investigates the functional roles of the caudal orbitofrontal cortex (cOFC) and pregenual anterior cingulate cortex (pACC) in macaques using multimodal recordings and electrical microstimulation, finding distinct roles in decision-making and autonomic responses.

This paper introduces a morphing map algorithm to model place field organization in bats, showing shared structure between neural and model-generated maps using hyperbolic geometry.

This study investigates how the order of events affects memory of their absolute times, finding that memory for order influences reported absolute times more than absolute time encoding alone.

The paper proposes a graph-based model for memory recall and verifies it with experiments, showing a universal search process for recalling items.

The paper shows that participants spontaneously create hierarchical structures when recalling random word lists, improving memory performance and resembling real-life narrative structures.
