Since the original characterization of the ventral visual pathway, our knowledge of its
neuroanatomy, functional properties, and extrinsic targets has grown considerably. Here we …

The frontal lobes in the brain are a component of the cerebral system that supports goal-
directed behaviour. However, their functional organization remains controversial. Recent …

Interactions between the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and mediodorsal thalamus are critical for
cognitive flexibility, yet the underlying computations are unknown. To investigate …

The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded
dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a …

During flexible behavior, multiple brain regions encode sensory inputs, the current task, and
choices. It remains unclear how these signals evolve. We simultaneously recorded neuronal …

Research on human and animal behavior has long emphasized its hierarchical structure—
the divisibility of ongoing behavior into discrete tasks, which are comprised of subtask …

During the 1990s and early 2000s, cognitive neuroscience investigations of human category
learning focused on the primary goal of showing that humans have multiple category …

The ability to group items and events into functional categories is a fundamental
characteristic of sophisticated thought. It is subserved by plasticity in many neural systems …

Various aspects of human cognition are shaped and enriched by abstract rules, which help
to describe, link and classify discrete events and experiences into meaningful concepts …

The hippocampal formation and striatum subserve declarative and procedural memory,
respectively. However, experimental evidence suggests that the ventral striatum, as …
