Learning theory suggests that animals attend to pertinent environmental cues when reward
contingencies unexpectedly change so that learning can occur. We have previously shown …

The discovery that dopamine neurons signal errors in reward prediction has demonstrated
that concepts empirically derived from the study of animal behavior can be used to …

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is implicated in performance monitoring and cognitive
control. Non-human primate studies of ACC show prominent reward signals, but these are …

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) participates in evaluating actions and outcomes. Little is
known on how action-reward values are processed in ACC and if the context in which …

In attentional models of learning, associations between actions and subsequent rewards are
stronger when outcomes are surprising, regardless of their valence. Despite the behavioral …

Attention or variations in event processing help drive learning. Lesion studies have
implicated the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) in this process, particularly when …

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is known to play a crucial role in the fast adaptations of
behavior based on immediate reward values. What is less certain is whether the ACC is also …

The function of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) remains controversial, yet many theories
suggest a role in behavioral adaptation, partly because a robust event-related potential, the …

The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) is thought to play a critical role in forming
associations between rewards and actions. Currently available physiological data, however …

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) plays a critical role in stimulus-reinforcement learning
and reward-guided selection of actions. Here we conducted a series of experiments to …
