Adaptive reward-related decision making requires accurate prospective consideration of the
specific outcome of each option and its current desirability. These mental simulations are …

The persistence of drug taking despite its adverse consequences plays a central role in the
presentation, diagnosis, and impacts of addiction. Eventual recognition and appraisal of …

We use mental models of the world—cognitive maps—to guide behavior. The lateral
orbitofrontal cortex (lOFC) is typically thought to support behavior by deploying these maps …

The value of an anticipated rewarding event is a crucial component of the decision to
engage in its pursuit. But little is known of the networks responsible for encoding and …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is considered to constitute the highest stage of neural integration
and to be devoted to representation and production of actions. Studies in primates have laid …

Adaptive reward-related decision making often requires accurate and detailed
representation of potential available rewards. Environmental reward-predictive stimuli can …

For many years, the functional role of the ventrolateral Pre-Frontal Cortex (PFC) was
associated with executive functions, specifically in the context of non-affective cognitive …

The ability to use information from one's prior actions is necessary for decision-making.
While orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has been hypothesized as key for inferences made using …

Everyday activities require adaptive decision-making and control over our actions to achieve
our goals. Sub-regions within the cortex are widely reported to regulate these choices. Here …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is involved in cognitive control of motor activities and timing of
future intensions. This study investigated the cognitive control of balance recovery in …
