We review a recent shift in conceptions of interoception and its relationship to hierarchical
inference in the brain. The notion of interoceptive inference means that bodily states are …

Emotions are powerful determinants of behaviour, thought and experience, and they may be
regulated in various ways. Neuroimaging studies have implicated several brain regions in …

The science of emotion has been using folk psychology categories derived from philosophy
to search for the brain basis of emotion. The last two decades of neuroscience research …

Ventral tegmental area (VTA) dopamine (DA) neurons play a central role in mediating
motivated behaviors, but the circuitry through which they signal positive and negative …

In this paper, we integrate recent theoretical and empirical developments in predictive
coding and active inference accounts of interoception (including the Embodied Predictive …

The outcome of a decision is often uncertain, and outcomes can vary over repeated
decisions. Whether decision outcomes should substantially affect behaviour and learning …

In this Review, we discuss advances in computational neuroscience that relate to psychiatry.
We review computational psychiatry in terms of the ambitions of investigators, emerging …

Motivation determines multiple aspects of behavior, including action selection and
energization of behavior. Several components of the underlying neural systems have been …

When making a subjective choice, the brain must compute a value for each option and
compare those values to make a decision. The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is critically involved …

This paper considers communication in terms of inference about the behaviour of others
