A neural computational model of incentive salience.
15 Jul 2009 
Incentive salience is a motivational property with 'magnet-like' qualities. When attributed to reward-predicting stimuli (cues), incentive salience triggers a pulse of 'wanting' and an individual is pulled toward the cues and reward. A key ...

Foundations for a new science of learning.
15 Jul 2009 
Human learning is distinguished by the range and complexity of skills that can be learned and the degree of abstraction that can be achieved compared with those of other species. Homo sapiens is also the only species that has developed formal ways ...

Mindblind eyes: an absence of spontaneous theory of mind in Asperger syndrome.
14 Jul 2009 Adults with Asperger syndrome can understand mental states such as desires and beliefs (mentalizing) when explicitly prompted to do so, despite having impairments in social communication. We directly tested the hypothesis that such individuals ...

13 Jul 2009 The pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus (PPTg) is in a key position to participate in operant reinforcement via its connections with the corticostriatal architecture and the medial reticular formation. Indeed, previous work has demonstrated that rats ...

Flexible learning of natural statistics in the human brain.
13 Jul 2009 The ability to detect and identify targets in cluttered scenes is a critical skill for survival and interactions. To solve this challenge the brain has optimized mechanisms for capitalizing on frequently occurring regularities in the environment. ...

12 Jul 2009 Longitudinal voxel-based morphometry studies have demonstrated morphological changes in cortical structures following motor and cognitive learning. In this study, we applied, for the first time, tensor-based morphometry (TBM) to assess the ...

Learning and memory: how sea slug behaviors become compulsive.
12 Jul 2009 A recent study of how food-seeking behavior in the sea slug Aplysia becomes compulsive provides new insights into the neural mechanisms of operant ...
