What does the retrosplenial cortex do?

6 Oct 2009 The past decade has seen a transformation in research on the retrosplenial cortex (RSC). This cortical area has emerged as a key member of a core network of brain regions that underpins a range of cognitive functions, including episodic memory, ... 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...

Short-term synaptic plasticity in the nociceptive thalamic-anterior cingulate pathway.

2 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Although the mechanisms of short- and long-term potentiation of nociceptive-evoked responses are well known in the spinal cord, including central sensitization, there has been a growing body of information on such events in the cerebral ... Read more...
