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

We propose that the entirety of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) can be seen as fundamentally
premotor in nature. By this, we mean that the PFC consists of an action abstraction hierarchy …

Choosing how much effort to expend is critical for everyday decisions. While several
neuroimaging studies have examined effort-based decision-making, results have been …

Changes in cognition, affect, and brain function combine to promote a shift in the nature of
mentation in older adulthood, favoring exploitation of prior knowledge over exploratory …

Patch foraging is a near-ubiquitous behaviour across the animal kingdom and characterises
many decision-making domains encountered by humans. We review how a disposition to …

Choice-relevant brain regions in prefrontal cortex may progressively transform information
about options into choices. Here, we examine responses of neurons in four regions of the …

This review addresses functional interactions between the primate prefrontal cortex (PFC)
and the amygdala, with emphasis on their contributions to behavior and cognition. The …

Attention supports decision making by selecting the features that are relevant for decisions.
Selective enhancement of the relevant features and inhibition of distractors has been …

The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and ventromedial-prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) play a key role in
decision-making and encode task states in addition to expected value. We review evidence …

We make decisions by comparing values, but it is not yet clear how value is represented in
the brain. Many models assume, if only implicitly, that the representational geometry of value …
