Recent years have seen substantial progress in studying the structural and functional
properties of GABAergic interneurons and their roles in the neuronal networks of barrel …

One of the major functions of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is to promote flexible motivated
behavior. It is no surprise, therefore, that recent work has demonstrated a prominent impact …

The central processing pathways of the human olfactory system are not fully understood.
The olfactory bulb projects directly to a number of cortical brain structures, but the distinct …

Goal-directed behavior is sensitive to the current value of expected outcomes. This requires
independent representations of specific rewards, which have been linked to orbitofrontal …

An exploration-exploitation trade-off, the arbitration between sampling a lesser-known
against a known rich option, is thought to be solved using computationally demanding …

Internal representations of relationships between events in the external world can be utilized
to infer outcomes when direct experience is lacking. This process is thought to involve the …

Childhood trauma (CT) is a well‐established risk factor for major depressive disorder (MDD).
However, the underlying mechanism linking CT and MDD remains not fully understood. The …

Impairments in metacognition, the ability to accurately report one's performance, are
common in patients with psychiatric disorders, where a putative neuromodulatory …

Objective. Complex spatiotemporal neural activity encodes rich information related to
behavior and cognition. Conventional research has focused on neural activity acquired …

Arbitrating between timely choice and extended information gathering is critical for effective
decision making. Aberrant information gathering behavior is thought to be a feature of …
