Temporal Coding of Reward Value in Monkey Ventral Striatal Tonically Active Neurons
The rostromedioventral striatum is critical for behavior dependent on evaluating rewards. We asked what contribution tonically active neurons (TANs), the putative striatal cholinergic interneurons, make in coding reward value in this part of the...
Flexible routing of motor control signals through neocortical projection neuron classes
Motor cortex is part of a network of central brain circuits that together enable robust, flexible, and efficient movement in mammals. Recent work has revealed rich dynamics in mammalian motor cortex thought to underlie robust and flexible movements....
Why can’t we agree on what’s true anymore?
The long read: It’s not about foreign trolls, filter bubbles or fake news. Technology encourages us to believe we can all have first-hand access to the ‘real’ facts – and now we can’t stop fighting about it

Reliability of Mismatch Negativity Event-Related Potentials in a Multisite, Traveling Subjects Study
Objective: Mismatch negativity (MMN) is an auditory event-related potential (ERP) used to study schizophrenia and psychosis risk. MMN reliability from a multisite, traveling subjects study was compared using different ERP referencing, averaging, and...

Judging Truth
Deceptive claims surround us, embedded in fake news, advertisements, political propaganda, and rumors. How do people know what to believe? Truth judgments reflect inferences drawn from three types of information: base rates, feelings, and...
Prior observation of fear learning enhances subsequent self-experienced fear learning with an overlapping neuronal ensemble in the dorsal hippocampus
Information from direct experience and observation of others is integrated in the brain to enable appropriate responses to environmental stimuli. Fear memory can be acquired by observing a conspecific’s distress. However, it remains unclear how...

Brain responses to social punishment: a meta-analysis
A unified picture of neuronal avalanches arises from the understanding of sampling effects
To date, it is still impossible to sample the entire mammalian brain with single-neuron precision. This forces one to either use spikes (focusing on few neurons) or to use coarse-sampled activity (averaging over many neurons, e.g. LFP). Naturally,...
Emergent Tool Use from Multi-Agent Interaction
We've observed agents discovering progressively more complex tool use while playing a simple game of hide-and-seek.
Mind the gap: A review and recommendations for statistically evaluating Dual Systems models of adolescent risk behavior
According to Dual Systems models (Casey et al., 2008; Luna & Wright, 2016; Steinberg, 2008), a rapidly-developing socioemotional system and gradually-…
Wearing your heart on your screen: Investigating congruency-effects in autonomic responses and their role in interoceptive processing during biofeedback
The experience of one’s embodied sense of self is dependent on the integration of signals originating both from within and outwith one’s body. During …
Dynamic regulation of interregional cortical communication by slow brain oscillations during working memory
Working memory involves a fronto-parietal brain network, but how the parts of this network are coordinated is unclear. Here, the authors show that fast brain activity at posterior sites is nested into prefrontal slow brain waves, with cognitive...

Seven steps to make travel to scientific conferences more sustainable
Researchers should learn to travel better to mitigate their climate impacts. Institutions can help by facilitating and rewarding sustainable travel behaviour, rather than fuelling the pressure to attend conferences, say Olivier Hamant, Timothy...
Economists calculate monetary value of 'thoughts and prayers'
US study finds Christians are willing to pay for prayers – but atheists will pay to avoid them
