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...

Relationship between neural responses and visual grouping in the monkey parietal cortex.

19 Oct 2009 Visual grouping through the binding of multiple discrete elements is an important component of object perception, and neurological studies have shown that the posterior parietal cortex plays a vital role in that process. To study the neural ... Read more...

Age-related delay in information accrual for faces: evidence from a parametric, single-trial EEG approach.

7 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: In this study, we quantified age-related changes in the time-course of face processing by means of an innovative single-trial ERP approach. Unlike analyses used in previous studies, our approach does not rely on peak measurements and can ... Read more...
