Resolving response, decision, and strategic control: evidence for a functional topography in dorsomedial prefrontal cortex.

19 Oct 2009 The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) plays a central role in aspects of cognitive control and decision making. Here, we provide evidence for an anterior-to-posterior topography within the DMPFC using tasks that evoke three distinct forms of ... Read more...

Corticostriatal Interactions during Learning, Memory Processing, and Decision Making.

12 Oct 2009 This mini-symposium aims to integrate recent insights from anatomy, behavior, and neurophysiology, highlighting the anatomical organization, behavioral significance, and information-processing mechanisms of corticostriatal interactions. In this ... Read more...

Neural correlates of value, risk, and risk aversion contributing to decision making under risk.

5 Oct 2009 Decision making under risk is central to human behavior. Economic decision theory suggests that value, risk, and risk aversion influence choice behavior. Although previous studies identified neural correlates of decision parameters, the contribution ... Read more...
