Dysfunction of the mesocorticolimbic dopaminergic reward system is a core feature of
schizophrenia (SZ), yet its precise contributions to different stages of reward processing and …

It has long been known that memory is not a single process. Rather, there are different kinds
of memory that are supported by distinct neural systems. This idea stemmed from early …

Now, more than ever, the ability to acquire mathematical skills efficiently is critical for
academic and professional success, yet little is known about the behavioral and neural …

The brain supports adaptive behavior by generating predictions, learning from errors, and
updating memories to incorporate new information. Prediction error, or surprise, triggers …

The quintessential memory system in the human brain—the hippocampus and surrounding
medial temporal lobe—is often treated as a module for the formation of conscious, or …

The ability to learn from the consequences of actions—no matter when those consequences
take place—is central to adaptive behavior. Despite major advances in understanding how …

Learning is essential for adaptive decision making. The striatum and its dopaminergic inputs
are known to support incremental reward-based learning, while the hippocampus is known …

The ability to learn from feedback is a key component of adaptive behavior. This type of
learning is traditionally thought to depend on neural substrates in the striatum and not on the …

The rapid development of social media and social networking sites in human society within
the past decade has brought about an increased focus on the value of social relationships …

People often perceive configurations rather than the elements they comprise, a bias that
may emerge because configurations often predict outcomes. But how does the brain learn to …
