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

Reservoir computing is a computational framework suited for temporal/sequential data
processing. It is derived from several recurrent neural network models, including echo state …

Animals make predictions to guide their behavior and update those predictions through
experience. Transient increases in dopamine (DA) are thought to be critical signals for …

The curse of dimensionality plagues models of reinforcement learning and decision making.
The process of abstraction solves this by constructing variables describing features shared …

The most critical attribute of human language is its unbounded combinatorial nature: smaller
elements can be combined into larger structures on the basis of a grammatical system …

There is and has been a fruitful flow of concepts and ideas between studies of learning in
biological and artificial systems. Much early work that led to the development of …

We process and integrate multiple timescales into one meaningful whole. Recent evidence
suggests that the brain displays a complex multiscale temporal organization. Different …

Working memory (WM) provides the functional backbone to high-level cognition.
Maintenance in WM is often assumed to depend on the stationary persistence of neural …

Specialization and hierarchy are organizing principles for primate cortex, yet there is little
direct evidence for how cortical areas are specialized in the temporal domain. We measured …

Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) carries a wealth of value-related information
necessary for regulating behavioral flexibility and persistence. It signals error and reward …
