[HTML][HTML] Hierarchical prediction errors in midbrain and basal forebrain during sensory learning
In Bayesian brain theories, hierarchically related prediction errors (PEs) play a central role
for predicting sensory inputs and inferring their underlying causes, eg, the probabilistic …

A causal account of the brain network computations underlying strategic social behavior
During competitive interactions, humans have to estimate the impact of their own actions on
their opponent's strategy. Here we provide evidence that neural computations in the right …

Separate mesocortical and mesolimbic pathways encode effort and reward learning signals
Optimal decision making mandates organisms learn the relevant features of choice options.
Likewise, knowing how much effort we should expend can assume paramount importance …
