Functions of the neocortex depend on its bidirectional communication with the thalamus, via
cortico-thalamo-cortical (CTC) loops. Recent work dissecting the synaptic connectivity in …

Rats and mice are used for studying neuronal circuits underlying recognition memory due to
their ability to spontaneously remember the occurrence of an object, its place and an …

Inhibitory control is a fundamental mechanism underlying flexible behavior and features in
theories across many areas of cognitive and psychological science. However, whereas …

Standard models of episodic memory focus on hippocampal–parahippocampal interactions,
with the neocortex supplying sensory information and providing a final repository of …

The outcome of a decision is often uncertain, and outcomes can vary over repeated
decisions. Whether decision outcomes should substantially affect behaviour and learning …

Epidemiological studies have shown that a substantial proportion of acute coronary events
occur in individuals who lack the traditional high-risk cardiovascular (CV) profile. Mental …

In humans, tissue injury and depression can both cause pain hypersensitivity, but whether
this involves distinct circuits remains unknown. Here, we identify two discrete glutamatergic …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

Unlike the sensory thalamus, studies on the functional organization of the midline and
intralaminar nuclei are scarce, and this has hindered the establishment of conceptual …

The anterior thalamic nuclei are a vital node within hippocampal-diencephalic-cingulate
circuits that support spatial learning and memory. Reflecting this interconnectivity, the …
