Range-adapting representation of economic value in the orbitofrontal cortex.

2 Nov 2009 While making economic choices, individuals assign subjective values to the available options. Values computed in different behavioral conditions, however, can vary substantially. The same person might choose some times between goods worth a few ... Read more...

Ventral striatal neurons encode the value of the chosen action in rats deciding between differently delayed or sized rewards.

19 Oct 2009 The ventral striatum (VS) is thought to serve as a gateway whereby associative information from the amygdala and prefrontal regions can influence motor output to guide behavior. If VS mediates this "limbic-motor" interface, then one might expect ... Read more...

Alteration of theta timescale dynamics of hippocampal place cells by a cannabinoid is associated with memory impairment.

5 Oct 2009 The integrity of the hippocampus is critical for both spatial navigation and episodic memory, but how its neuronal firing patterns underlie those functions is not well understood. In particular, the modality by which hippocampal place cells ... Read more...
