Beyond cue reactivity: non-drug-related motivationally relevant stimuli are necessary to understand reactivity to drug-related cues
Neurobiological models of addiction posit that drug use can alter reward processes in two
ways:(1) by increasing the motivational relevance of drugs and drug-related cues and (2) by …

Optimal coding and neuronal adaptation in economic decisions
During economic decisions, offer value cells in orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) encode the values
of offered goods. Furthermore, their tuning functions adapt to the range of values available in …

Lateral orbitofrontal inactivation dissociates devaluation-sensitive behavior and economic choice
How do we choose between goods that have different subjective values, like apples and
oranges? Neuroeconomics proposes that this is done by reducing complex goods to a …

Prefrontal neurons encode a solution to the credit-assignment problem
To adapt successfully to our environments, we must use the outcomes of our choices to
guide future behavior. Critically, we must be able to correctly assign credit for any particular …
