Recent neurophysiological and neuroanatomical studies suggest a close interaction
between sensory and motor processes across the neocortex. Here, I propose that the …

The human ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC)/anterior cingulate cortex is implicated in
reward and emotion, but also in memory. It is shown how the human orbitofrontal cortex …

Decades of neurobiological research have disclosed the diverse manners in which the
response properties of neurons are dynamically modulated to support adaptive cognitive …

Changes in pupil diameter that reflect effort and other cognitive factors are often interpreted
in terms of the activity of norepinephrine-containing neurons in the brainstem nucleus locus …

The human posterior cingulate, retrosplenial, and medial parietal cortex are involved in
memory and navigation. The functional anatomy underlying these cognitive functions was …

Feature-selective firing allows networks to produce representations of the external and
internal environments. Despite its importance, the mechanisms generating neuronal feature …

Hippocampal and parahippocampal gyrus spatial view neurons in primates respond to the
spatial location being looked at. The representation is allocentric, in that the responses are …

Spatial navigation requires information about the relationship between current and future
positions. The activity of hippocampal neurons appears to reflect such a relationship …

We suggested recently that attention can be understood as inferring the level of uncertainty
or precision during hierarchical perception. In this paper, we try to substantiate this claim …

Abstract Models of cognitive function typically focus on the cerebral cortex and hence
overlook functional links to subcortical structures. This view does not consider the role of the …
