The paper shows that imagined experiences can generate prediction errors that drive learning and update preferences about individuals.

This study investigates whether ghrelin modulates risky decision-making through homeostatic state changes but finds no credible effects on behavior or neural activity.

This study shows that memory retrieval involves both reinstating original neural patterns and activating transformed, generalized representations, with reward enhancing transformation in the anterior hippocampus.

The paper shows that high-confident word recognition in humans incurs incidental reinstatement of associated face and scene representations in medial temporal lobe subregions, even without explicit retrieval instructions.

This study investigates how reward modulates item encoding in the medial temporal lobe and beyond, finding category-specific neural effects in PRC and PHC for objects and scenes, respectively, with reward enhancing object memory.

The paper investigates how neural activity in the medial temporal lobe relates to successful recall of objects and scenes, finding that content-specific tuning during perception predicts recall success.

This study shows that sleep deprivation increases food reward valuation through hedonic mechanisms, not hormonal changes, using fMRI and behavioral tasks.
