Current reinforcement-learning models often assume simplified decision processes that do
not fully reflect the dynamic complexities of choice processes. Conversely, sequential …

Background Altered neural haemodynamic activity during decision making and learning has
been linked to the effects of inflammation on mood and motivated behaviours. So far, it has …

What role do regions like the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) play in normative
behavior (eg, generosity, healthy eating)? Some models suggest that dlPFC activation …

The generalization of conditioned fear responses has been shown to decrease as a function
of perceptual similarity. However, generalization may also extend beyond the perceptual …

Financial incentives are commonly used to motivate behaviors. However, there is also
evidence that incentives can impede the behavior they are supposed to foster, for example …

Disruption of non-drug reward processing in addiction could stem from long-term drug use,
addiction-related psychosocial stress, or a combination of these. It remains unclear whether …

Perceptual decision making–the process of detecting and categorizing information–has
been studied extensively over the last two decades. In this study, we aim to bridge the gap …

ABSTRACT The National Institute of Mental Health launched the Research Domain Criteria
