Visual attention enables us to selectively prioritize or suppress information in the
environment. Prominent models concerned with the control of visual attention differentiate …

Experimental and theoretical studies have tried to gain insights into the involvement of the
Temporal Parietal Junction (TPJ) in a broad range of cognitive functions like memory …

Abstract Background The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is an important region in reward circuit
that has been linked with anhedonia, which is a characteristic symptom of major depressive …

Humans can seamlessly combine value signals from diverse motivational incentives, yet it is
not well understood how these signals are “bundled” in the brain to modulate cognitive …

The complex challenges of our mental life require us to coordinate multiple forms of neural
information processing. Recent behavioural studies have found that people can coordinate …

Adaptive behavior requires finding, and adjusting, an optimal tradeoff between focusing on a
current task-set (cognitive stability) and updating that task-set when the environment …

Several studies have evaluated the effect of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation
(tDCS) over the prefrontal cortex (PFC) for the enhancement of working memory (WM) …

Cognitive flexibility forms the core of the extraordinary ability of humans to adapt, but the
precise neural mechanisms underlying our ability to nimbly shift between task sets remain …

Importance Despite the widespread awareness of functional magnetic resonance imaging
findings suggesting a role for cortical connectivity networks in treatment selection for major …

Abstract Information about potential rewards in the environment is essential for guiding
adaptive behavior, and understanding neural reward processes may provide insights into …
