Studies in humans and non-human primates have provided evidence for storage of working
memory contents in multiple regions ranging from sensory to parietal and prefrontal cortex …

While the cerebellum's role in motor function is well recognized, the nature of its concurrent
role in cognitive function remains considerably less clear. The current consensus paper …

The curse of dimensionality plagues models of reinforcement learning and decision making.
The process of abstraction solves this by constructing variables describing features shared …

The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded
dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a …

Being born a girl or a boy has implications that carry considerably beyond chromosomal,
hormonal, and genital differences. In this chapter, we consider the developmental processes …

The stimulus complexity of naturally occurring odours presents unique challenges for central
nervous systems that are aiming to internalize the external olfactory landscape. One …

Various forms of category-specificity have been described at both the cognitive and neural
levels, inviting the inference that different semantic domains are processed by distinct …

Decision making involves dynamic interplay between internal judgements and external
perception, which has been investigated in delayed match-to-category (DMC) experiments …

Insects possess miniature brains but exhibit a sophisticated behavioral repertoire. Recent
studies have reported the existence of unsuspected cognitive capabilities in various insect …

Efficient recognition of odorous objects universally shapes animal behavior and is crucial for
survival. To distinguish kin from nonkin, mate from nonmate and food from nonfood …
