This study investigates how acetylcholine and noradrenaline influence perceptual decision making and learning by modulating the updating of prior expectations.

This paper shows that noradrenaline causes a spread of association in the hippocampal cognitive map, leading to overgeneralisation errors and predicted by physiological markers.

The paper investigates how people determine controllability and causality in collaborative settings through specific behavioral patterns and brain activity in the supramarginal gyrus.

The paper links bradycardia states to approach-avoidance decision-making under threat, showing amygdala and dACC involvement in integrating value and physiological states.

This study investigates how the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) supports persistence during goal pursuit by modulating attention, showing that vmPFC activity predicts individual differences in goal-oriented attention and persistence.

This study shows that memory consolidation during rest creates shortcuts in the cognitive map, enabling novel inferences but limiting adaptability to environmental changes.

The paper investigates how neural responses adapt to different environments in continuous decision-making tasks, showing changes in EEG signals reflect shifts in evidence accumulation strategies.

The paper shows that medial frontal cortex activity predicts information sampling in economic decisions and explains how choice difficulty is encoded in this region.

This study investigates how threat-induced bradycardia influences approach-avoidance decisions, finding that it interacts with subjective value and action-context to affect choice behavior.

This study identifies two distinct processes in human parietal cortex: one for saccade decision via firing rates and another for cross-saccade prior via sensory input gain modulation.

The paper identifies a distributed frontal cortical circuit associated with behavioral flexibility in macaques through structural and functional imaging analyses of discrimination reversal learning.

The paper investigates whether ipsilateral brain activity during finger movements is driven by active movement or sensory input, finding that ipsilateral representations are stronger during active presses.

The paper shows that the medial prefrontal cortex network computes value homeostasis by tracking imbalance and redress in goal-related assets during decision-making.

The paper identifies neurochemical and computational factors explaining individual differences in sensorimotor memory formation using neuroimaging and transcranial stimulation.

This paper proposes a computational framework using Bayesian decision theory and state-space models to explain prism adaptation behaviour, offering mechanistic insights beyond traditional cognitive frameworks.
