The traditional view on the cerebellum is that it controls motor behavior. Although recent
work has revealed that the cerebellum supports also nonmotor functions such as cognition …

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 …

A model of the neuropsychology of anxiety is proposed. The model is based in the first
instance upon an analysis of the behavioural effects of the antianxiety drugs …

The authors present a unified account of 2 neural systems concerned with the development
and expression of adaptive behaviors: a mesencephalic dopamine system for reinforcement …

Controversy surrounds the function of the anterior cingulate cortex. Recent discussions
about its role in behavioural control have centred on three main issues: its involvement in …

Large-scale intrinsic brain systems have been identified for exteroceptive senses (such as
sight, hearing and touch). We introduce an analogous system for representing sensations …

Evidence from macaque monkey tracing studies suggests connectivity-based subdivisions
within the precuneus, offering predictions for similar subdivisions in the human. Here we …

Learning the value of options in an uncertain environment is central to optimal decision
making. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been implicated in using reinforcement …

The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) has attracted great interest from neuroscientists
because it is associated with so many important cognitive functions. Despite, or perhaps …

The orbitofrontal cortex (OfC) is a heterogeneous prefrontal sector selectively connected
with a wide constellation of other prefrontal, limbic, sensory and premotor areas. Among the …
