Recent advancements in cognitive neuroscience have afforded a description of neural
responses in terms of latent algorithmic operations. However, the adoption of this approach …

Emotions are powerful determinants of behaviour, thought and experience, and they may be
regulated in various ways. Neuroimaging studies have implicated several brain regions in …

Decades of neuroimaging studies have shown modest differences in brain structure and
connectivity in depression, hindering mechanistic insights or the identification of risk factors …

Over the past 20 years, neuroscience research on reward-based learning has converged on
a canonical model, under which the neurotransmitter dopamine 'stamps in'associations …

Synchronous rhythms represent a core mechanism for sculpting temporal coordination of
neural activity in the brain-wide network. This review focuses on oscillations in the cerebral …

It has been argued that emotion, pain and cognitive control are functionally segregated in
distinct subdivisions of the cingulate cortex. However, recent observations encourage a …

Anhedonia is a core symptom of major depressive disorder (MDD), the neurobiological
mechanisms of which remain poorly understood. Despite decades of speculation regarding …

Why Love Matters explains why loving relationships are essential to brain development in
the early years, and how these early interactions can have lasting consequences for future …

Anhedonia, or markedly diminished interest or pleasure, is a hallmark symptom of major
depression, schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric disorders. Over the past three …

We describe a theoretical model of the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying conscious
presence and its disturbances. The model is based on interoceptive prediction error and is …
