Instructions and experiential learning have similar impacts on pain and pain-related brain responses but produce dissociations in value-based reversal learning

This study compares how instructions and experiential learning affect pain perception and brain responses, finding distinct neural mechanisms for value-based learning.

Lower neural value signaling in the prefrontal cortex is related to childhood family income and depressive symptomatology during adolescence

The paper links lower childhood family income and adolescent depressive symptoms to reduced neural value signaling in the prefrontal cortex during reward learning tasks.
