Landmark study reveals cell-level brain changes tied to PTSD
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) isn’t caused by just one faulty switch in the brain; it’s more like a tangled orchestra of genes and cells thrown off-key by trauma. With many genetic players ...

Neural signatures of model-based and model-free reinforcement learning across prefrontal cortex and striatum
Having established the influence of MF- and MB-RL strategies on behaviour 36, we next examined whether signatures of MF- and MB-RL were evident in neuronal activity in four key brain regions ...

Neural correlates of a decision in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of the macaque - Nature
We recorded from neurons in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (areas 8 and 46) of the rhesus monkey while it performed a motion discrimination task. The monkey indicated its judgment of direction ...
