This paper identifies a prefrontal cortex-hypothalamus circuit that bidirectionally controls heart rate in non-human primates and shows its role in cognitive decision-making.

This study links multi-attribute economic preferences in decision-making to specific dimensions of psychopathology using a large sample and transdiagnostic symptom measures.

The paper explores why organisms seek information about the future despite lacking control, proposing that subjective value arises from adaptive solutions to computational problems in natural environments.

The paper investigates how perceptual novelty and reward value interact in decision-making by identifying a neural pathway between the anterior ventral temporal cortex and orbitofrontal cortex.

This study shows that ventral striatal astrocytes influence reinforcement learning by modulating decision noisiness and reward-guided choice through calcium dynamics.

The paper identifies conserved neural mechanisms in the lateral habenula that integrate information value with extrinsic rewards to guide multi-attribute decisions.

This study shows that dorsal raphe neurons integrate reward attributes during decision-making and track value through feedback.

This study identifies the zona incerta and anterior ventral medial temporal cortex as key brain regions regulating novelty-seeking behavior in primates, distinct from reward-seeking circuits.

The paper identifies a cortico-basal ganglia network that predicts information about uncertain rewards and motivates information seeking behavior in primates.

This study identifies two types of BF neurons that signal time and salience statistics through phasic bursting and ramping activity in response to novel and surprising events.

The paper shows that anterior cingulate neurons encode expected value and uncertainty in a valence-specific manner, supporting flexible top-down control of reward and punishment-related behaviors.
