Expectation of reward motivates our behaviors and influences our decisions. Indeed,
neuronal activity in many brain areas is modulated by expected reward. However, it is still …

The primate basal ganglia receives information from most of the cerebrum, including the
frontal cortex, but projects (via the dorsal thalamus) primarily to the frontal lobe, perhaps in …

Abstract [This book] presents the insights of more than 3 decades of empirical research on
the neural processes by which memory is formed, stored, and retrieved. Fuster focuses …

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex plays a critical role in guiding actions that ensue seconds
after an instruction. We recorded from neurons in area 46 and the frontal eye field (FEF) …

The basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BLA) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) are
involved importantly in the processing and encoding of emotionally salient learned …

In order to investigate whether and how medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of the rat is
involved in processing of information related to fear conditioning, we recorded from single …

Expected reward impacts behavior and neuronal activity in brain areas involved in
sensorimotor processes. However, where and how reward signals affect sensorimotor …

Expectation of reward facilitates motor behaviors that enable the animal to approach a
location in space where the reward is expected. It is now known that the same expectation of …

Basing higher-order decisions on expected value (reward probability× reward magnitude)
maximizes an agent's accruement of reward over time. The goal of this study was to …

The basal forebrain cholinergic projection (BFC) system has been the focus of considerable
attention as a result of evidence implicating it in a number of behavioral functions, including …
