Creative cognition is key to human functioning yet the underlying neurobiological
mechanisms are sparsely addressed and poorly understood. Here we address the …

Neuroimaging increasingly exploits machine learning techniques in an attempt to achieve
clinically relevant single-subject predictions. An alternative to machine learning, which tries …

Stimulants such as methylphenidate are increasingly used for cognitive enhancement but
precise mechanisms are unknown. We found that methylphenidate boosts willingness to …

Significant evidence supports the view that dopamine shapes learning by encoding reward
prediction errors. However, it is unknown whether striatal targets receive tailored dopamine …

Curiosity is a basic biological drive, but little is known about its behavioral and neural
mechanisms. We can be curious about several types of information. On the one hand …

Parkinson's resting tremor is related to altered cerebral activity in the basal ganglia and the
cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuit. Although Parkinson's disease is characterized by …

Reinforcement feedback can improve motor learning, but the underlying brain mechanisms
remain underexplored. In particular, the causal contribution of specific patterns of oscillatory …

Sound principles of statistical inference dictate that uncertainty shapes learning. In this work,
we revisit the question of learning in volatile environments, in which both the first and …

The risk of suicide in psychiatric hospitals is 50 times higher than in the general population,
despite patient safety being a priority for any hospital. However, to date, due to the …

The major ascending neuromodulator dopamine has long been implicated in cognitive
control. Effects of dopamine-related disorders and the treatment of the cognitive control …
