Efforts to understand the functional architecture of the brain have consistently identified
multiple overlapping large-scale neural networks that are observable across multiple states …

Why does performing certain tasks cause the aversive experience of mental effort and
concomitant deterioration in task performance? One explanation posits a physical resource …

One fundamental question concerning brain reward mechanisms is to determine how
reward-related activity is influenced by the nature of rewards. Here, we review the …

Empathy—the ability to share the feelings of others—is fundamental to our emotional and
