Lateral intraparietal cortex and reinforcement learning during a mixed-strategy game.

Jun 2009 Activity of the neurons in the lateral intraparietal cortex (LIP) displays a mixture of sensory, motor, and memory signals. Moreover, they often encode signals reflecting the accumulation of sensory evidence that certain eye movements might lead to ... Read more...

Stress prompts habit behavior in humans.

Jun 2009 Instrumental behavior can be controlled by goal-directed action-outcome and habitual stimulus-response processes that are supported by anatomically distinct brain systems. Based on previous findings showing that stress modulates the interaction of ... Read more...

The computation of social behavior.

27 May 2009 Neuroscientists are beginning to advance explanations of social behavior in terms of underlying brain mechanisms. Two distinct networks of brain regions have come to the fore. The first involves brain regions that are concerned with learning about ... Read more...
