This study investigates the functional roles of the caudal orbitofrontal cortex (cOFC) and pregenual anterior cingulate cortex (pACC) in macaques using multimodal recordings and electrical microstimulation, finding distinct roles in decision-making and autonomic responses.

This study shows that dopamine release patterns in the dorsal striatum differ between medial and lateral regions during learning, challenging classic reinforcement learning models.

The paper develops a method to simultaneously measure dopamine and neuronal spikes in monkeys using carbon fiber electrodes and validates it for cell-type specific activity related to behavior.
