Continuous theta-burst stimulation of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex reduces Pavlovian go-invigoration and enhances thalamo-striatal reward prediction error signals

This study uses cTBS to inhibit the vmPFC and shows reduced Go responses, slower reaction times, and increased reward prediction error signals in subcortical regions.

Cortical grey matter mediates increases in model-based control and learning from positive feedback from adolescence to adulthood

The paper investigates how brain structure, specifically grey matter density in the parietal cortex, mediates age-related increases in model-based control and learning from positive feedback during adolescence to adulthood.

Cortical dopamine reduces the impact of motivational biases governing automated behaviour

This study investigates how cortical dopamine affects motivational biases in automated behavior using a pharmacological intervention in healthy individuals.
