Cognitive control, the ability to orchestrate behavior in accord with our goals, depends on
the prefrontal cortex. These cognitive functions are heavily influenced by the …

We live in a world that is largely socially constructed, and we are constantly involved in and
fundamentally influenced by a broad array of complex social interactions. Social behaviors …

Humans do not integrate new information objectively: outcomes carrying a positive affective
value and evidence confirming one's own prior belief are overweighed. Until recently …

Neuroscience has focused on the detailed implementation of computation, studying neural
codes, dynamics and circuits. In machine learning, however, artificial neural networks tend …

This paper considers functional integration in the brain from a computational perspective.
We ask what sort of neuronal message passing is mandated by active inference—and what …

The primate prefrontal cortex (PFC) subserves our highest order cognitive operations, and
yet is tremendously dependent on a precise neurochemical environment for proper …

Attention is critical to high-level cognition and attention deficits are a hallmark of neurologic
and neuropsychiatric disorders. Although years of research indicates that distinct …

Theories of reward learning in neuroscience have focused on two families of algorithms
thought to capture deliberative versus habitual choice.'Model-based'algorithms compute the …

There have been numerous attempts to explain the enigma of autism, but existing
neurocognitive theories often provide merely a refined description of 1 cluster of symptoms …

Dopamine neurons are thought to signal reward prediction error, or the difference between
actual and predicted reward. How dopamine neurons jointly encode this information …
