This paper offers an active inference account of choice behaviour and learning. It focuses on
the distinction between goal-directed and habitual behaviour and how they contextualise …

The precise functional role of the hippocampus remains a topic of much debate. The
dominant view is that the dorsal (or posterior) hippocampus is implicated in memory and …

Network dynamics have been proposed as a mechanistic substrate for the information
transfer across cortical and hippocampal circuits. However, little is known about the …

We review a theory of homeostatic regulation and adaptive behavioural control within the
Active Inference framework. Our aim is to connect two research streams that are usually …

Progress in clinical and affective neuroscience is redefining psychiatric illness as
symptomatic expression of cellular/molecular dysfunctions in specific brain circuits. Post …

Some have claimed that the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) mediates decision making.
Others suggest mPFC is selectively involved in the retrieval of remote long-term memory. Yet …

Addiction is a chronic relapsing disorder characterized by the loss of control over drug
intake, high motivation to obtain the drug, and a persistent craving for the drug …

We review the psychology and neuroscience of reinforcement learning (RL), which has
experienced significant progress in the past two decades, enabled by the comprehensive …

Excitatory afferents to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) are thought to facilitate reward seeking
by encoding reward-associated cues. Selective activation of different glutamatergic inputs to …

The prevailing view in the field of adolescent brain development is that heightened activity in
the mesolimbic dopaminergic reward system serves as a liability, orienting adolescents …
