Cannabis use disorder (CUD) is an underappreciated risk of using cannabis that affects~
10% of the 193 million cannabis users worldwide. The individual and public health burdens …

Emotions arise from activations of specialized neuronal populations in several parts of the
cerebral cortex, notably the anterior cingulate, insula, ventromedial prefrontal, and …

Social interactions are motivated behaviors that, in many species, facilitate learning.
However, how the brain encodes the reinforcing properties of social interactions remains …

During realistic, continuous perception, humans automatically segment experiences into
discrete events. Using a novel model of cortical event dynamics, we investigate how cortical …

An organism's survival can depend on its ability to recall and navigate to spatial locations
associated with rewards, such as food or a home. Accumulating research has revealed that …

The ability to prioritize valuable information is critical for the efficient use of memory in daily
life. When information is important, we engage more effective encoding mechanisms that …

Most research in cognitive neuroscience explores how external stimuli are processed by the
brain. However, the brain also receives input from the internal body. We discuss here how …

We update complementary learning systems (CLS) theory, which holds that intelligent
agents must possess two learning systems, instantiated in mammalians in neocortex and …

In this paper, we integrate recent theoretical and empirical developments in predictive
coding and active inference accounts of interoception (including the Embodied Predictive …

Events associated with aversive or rewarding outcomes are prioritized in memory. This
memory boost is commonly attributed to the elicited affective response, closely linked to …
