Medial and orbital frontal cortex in decision-making and flexible behavior
The medial frontal cortex and adjacent orbitofrontal cortex have been the focus of
investigations of decision-making, behavioral flexibility, and social behavior. We review …

A tripartite view of the posterior cingulate cortex
The posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) is one of the least understood regions of the cerebral
cortex. By contrast, the anterior cingulate cortex has been the subject of intensive …

The macaque anterior cingulate cortex translates counterfactual choice value into actual behavioral change
The neural mechanisms mediating sensory-guided decision-making have received
considerable attention, but animals often pursue behaviors for which there is currently no …

Control of movement vigor and decision making during foraging
T Yoon, RB Geary, AA Ahmed… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - National Acad Sciences
During foraging, animals decide how long to stay at a patch and harvest reward, and then,
they move with certain vigor to another location. How does the brain decide when to leave …

[HTML][HTML] Could Alzheimer's disease be a maladaptation of an evolutionary survival pathway mediated by intracerebral fructose and uric acid metabolism?
An important aspect of survival is to assure enough food, water, and oxygen. Here, we
describe a recently discovered response that favors survival in times of scarcity, and it is …

The posterior cingulate cortex: Insights from structure and function
The posterior cingulate cortex (PCC)(Brodmann areas 23/31) is one of the least well-
understood regions of the cortex. The PCC has very high levels of metabolic consumption …

General mechanisms of task engagement in the primate frontal cortex
Staying engaged is necessary to maintain goal-directed behaviors. Despite this,
engagement exhibits continuous, intrinsic fluctuations. Even in experimental settings …

Prospection, perseverance, and insight in sequential behavior
Real-world decisions have benefits occurring only later and dependent on additional
decisions taken in the interim. We investigated this in a novel decision-making task in …

Foraging as an evidence accumulation process
The patch-leaving problem is a canonical foraging task, in which a forager must decide to
leave a current resource in search for another. Theoretical work has derived optimal …

Neural evidence of switch processes during semantic and phonetic foraging in human memory
Humans may retrieve words from memory by exploring and exploiting in “semantic space”
similar to how nonhuman animals forage for resources in physical space. This has been …
