To behave adaptively, we must learn from the consequences of our actions. Studies using
event-related potentials (ERPs) have been informative with respect to the question of how …

The reward positivity is a component of the human ERP elicited by feedback stimuli in trial‐
and‐error learning and guessing tasks. A prominent theory holds that the reward positivity …

Feedback indicating monetary loss elicits an apparent negative deflection in the event‐
related potential (ERP) that has been referred to as the feedback error‐related negativity …

We present evidence that a multitude of mid‐frontal event‐related potential (ERP)
components partially reflect a common theta band oscillatory process. Specifically, mid …

The reinforcement learning theory of the error-related negativity (ERN) holds that the impact
of reward signals carried by the midbrain dopamine system modulates activity of the anterior …

A recent theory holds that a component of the human event-related brain potential called the
reward positivity reflects a reward prediction error signal. We investigated this idea in …

BACKGROUND: The ability to anticipate and then secure future rewards and avoid future
punishments by responding effectively to environmental demands is at the core of …

In rodents, exercise increases hippocampal neurogenesis and allows for better learning and
memory performance on water maze tasks. While exercise has also been shown to be …

A recent theory holds that the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) uses reinforcement learning
signals conveyed by the midbrain dopamine system to facilitate flexible action selection …

Coupling behavioral measures and brain imaging in naturalistic, ecological conditions is key
to comprehend the neural bases of spatial navigation. This highly integrative function …
