Clinical accounts of the effects of damage to orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) have provided
important clues about the functions of this region in humans. Patients with OFC injury can …

A previous study revealed that, although monkeys with bilateral lesions of either the
orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) or the amygdala could learn an action–outcome task, they could …

Humans and animals make predictions about the rewards they expect to receive in different
situations. In formal models of behavior, these predictions are known as value …

Neuroimaging studies of decision-making have generally related neural activity to objective
measures (such as reward magnitude, probability or delay), despite choice preferences …

Uncertainty about the function of orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in guiding decision-making may
be a result of its medial (mOFC) and lateral (lOFC) divisions having distinct functions. Here …

WE often search for a face in a crowd or for a particular object in a cluttered environment. In
this type of visual search, memory interacts with attention: the mediating neural mechanisms …

Categorization is a process by which the brain assigns meaning to sensory stimuli. Through
experience, we learn to group stimuli into categories, such as 'chair','table'and 'vehicle' …

Flavour perception is one of the most complex of human behaviours. It involves almost all of
the senses, particularly the sense of smell, which is involved through odour images …

Every day people make new choices between alternatives that they have never directly
experienced. Yet, such decisions are often made rapidly and confidently. Here, we show that …

We discovered that when adult rats experience an association between visual stimuli and
subsequent rewards, the responses of a substantial fraction of neurons in the primary visual …
