Pupil size as a window on neural substrates of cognition
Cognitively driven pupil modulations reflect certain underlying brain functions. What do
these reflections tell us? Here, we review findings that have identified key roles for three …

Ten simple rules for the computational modeling of behavioral data
Computational modeling of behavior has revolutionized psychology and neuroscience. By
fitting models to experimental data we can probe the algorithms underlying behavior, find …

Multiple routes to enhanced memory for emotionally relevant events
Events associated with aversive or rewarding outcomes are prioritized in memory. This
memory boost is commonly attributed to the elicited affective response, closely linked to …

Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and the value of control
Debates over the function (s) of dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) have persisted for
decades. So too have demonstrations of the region's association with cognitive control …

Pupil-linked arousal is driven by decision uncertainty and alters serial choice bias
While judging their sensory environments, decision-makers seem to use the uncertainty
about their choices to guide adjustments of their subsequent behaviour. One possible …

[HTML][HTML] Learning empathy through virtual reality: multiple strategies for training empathy-related abilities using body ownership illusions in embodied virtual reality
Several disciplines have investigated the interconnected empathic abilities behind the
proverb “to walk a mile in someone else's shoes” to determine how the presence, and …

Value, search, persistence and model updating in anterior cingulate cortex
Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) carries a wealth of value-related information
necessary for regulating behavioral flexibility and persistence. It signals error and reward …

Anxious individuals have difficulty learning the causal statistics of aversive environments
Statistical regularities in the causal structure of the environment enable us to predict the
probable outcomes of our actions. Environments differ in the extent to which action-outcome …

Connectivity reveals relationship of brain areas for reward-guided learning and decision making in human and monkey frontal cortex
Reward-guided decision-making depends on a network of brain regions. Among these are
the orbitofrontal and the anterior cingulate cortex. However, it is difficult to ascertain if these …

Reinforcement learning across development: What insights can we draw from a decade of research?
The past decade has seen the emergence of the use of reinforcement learning models to
study developmental change in value-based learning. It is unclear, however, whether these …
