The paper investigates motor inhibition after action errors in humans using transcranial magnetic stimulation and EEG, finding two types of inhibition linked to post-error slowing.

This paper responds to criticisms of the ABCD Stop task, arguing that the concerns have minimal impact on neuroimaging and performance data, and highlights adjustments made to the task and data releases.

This paper compares neural circuits for laboratory and everyday-life habits using fMRI meta-analysis, finding common striatal substrates in posterior and anterior putamen.

This study investigates metacognition in macaques using confidence proxies and computational models, finding BA46d's time-sensitive role in metacognitive processes.

This paper reviews task-based fMRI studies on irritability in youth, finding no neural convergence across domains and highlighting the need for standardized assessments and tasks.

The paper shows that temporal preparation, not statistical learning, explains performance benefits in complex temporal environments with regular and irregular events.

The paper examines how the presence or absence of a prefrontal sulcus correlates with reasoning performance in children during development.

This study uses intracranial recordings to show that risky choices are represented in distributed prefrontal and subcortical regions, while reward computations are more modular and localized.

This study shows that cingulate cortex inputs to motor cortex are necessary for updating rule representations during sequential choice decisions after rule switches.

The paper shows that neural signals resembling evidence accumulation in decision-making can emerge artifactually from overlapping value signals, not from actual evidence accumulation processes.

The paper shows that orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) neurons contribute to value comparison in economic choices by disrupting the decision process without affecting offer values through electrical stimulation.

This study examines how depression affects the relationship between socioeconomic status and reward sensitivity, finding that depression mediates this link in feedback processing.

The paper introduces and validates a novel human task for studying approach-avoidance conflict, identifies associated neural patterns, and links them to trait anxiety.

The paper investigates how confidence in others' decisions is computed by combining estimates of ability and decision difficulty, supported by specific brain systems.

This study shows that nonlinear reinforcement learning with divisive normalization introduces asymmetry in prediction error coding, explaining behavioral variability and supporting distributional RL theories.

The paper isolates the neural and cognitive signatures of information seeking by distinguishing it from changes-of-mind, finding increased attention and arousal during information seeking.

The paper shows stress reduces outcome representations but enhances response representations during instrumental learning, linked to habitual responding.

This study shows that older adults' slower reaction times are due to reduced preparation speed, not delayed initiation, with a consistent 90ms delay between preparation and initiation.

This study shows that growth mindset enhances working memory development through optimized cortico-striatal network dynamics that balance flexibility and stability.

The paper links structural brain maturation in key cognitive control regions to inhibitory control development in 3- to 4-year-olds using MRI and behavioral data.

The paper investigates how average task value influences reward-related ACC activity, finding that reward positivity is reduced in high-value tasks independent of reward magnitude or outcome expectancy.

This study reviews fMRI studies of aggression-prone individuals and finds increased limbic and temporal activity and decreased occipital activity during anger-eliciting tasks.

The paper identifies distinct electrophysiological correlates of decision confidence during and after perceptual decisions, showing different neural patterns for correct and erroneous trials.

The paper investigates how EEG dynamics reflect decision biases and future choices during learning from unexpected events in a probabilistic choice task.

The paper identifies dissociable neuronal modules in the orbitofrontal cortex that represent single-attribute and multi-attribute choice tasks in rhesus monkeys.

This paper compares the speed of action initiation and inhibition, finding they are similar when conditions are matched, suggesting they may be part of a single decision-making process.

The paper develops a theory of perceptual decision-making that frames disengagement as a cognitive control problem, showing how control limitations affect performance and behavior.

The paper investigates how the human orbitofrontal cortex encodes self- and other-rewards during social decision-making, finding state-dependent changes in reward encoding based on inequity type.

The paper examines sex-specific differences in neural reward processing and its association with emotional negativity in young children using EEG.
