A major shift is happening within neurophysiology: a population doctrine is drawing level
with the single-neuron doctrine that has long dominated the field. Population-level ideas …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a critical role in the generation and regulation of emotion.
However, we lack an integrative framework for understanding how different emotion-related …

Vision, choice, action and behavioural engagement arise from neuronal activity that may be
distributed across brain regions. Here we delineate the spatial distribution of neurons …

Rewards are crucial objects that induce learning, approach behavior, choices, and
emotions. Whereas emotions are difficult to investigate in animals, the learning function is …

What determines what we see? In contrast to the traditional “modular” understanding of
perception, according to which visual processing is encapsulated from higher-level …

The neocortex is a complex neurobiological system with many interacting regions. How
these regions work together to subserve flexible behavior and cognition has become …

Human neuroimaging research has transitioned from map** local effects to develo**
predictive models of mental events that integrate information distributed across multiple …

Behavioral economic studies involving limited numbers of choices have provided key
insights into neural decision-making mechanisms. By contrast, animals' foraging choices …

Financial capitalism is an invention, and the process of inventing it is hardly over. The
system has to be thoughtfully guided into the future. Most importantly, it has to be further …

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 …
