Many decisions involve uncertainty, or imperfect knowledge about how choices lead to
outcomes. Colloquial notions of uncertainty, particularly when describing a decision as 'risky', …

The temporal–parietal junction (TPJ) has been proposed to support either specifically social
functions or non-specific processes of cognition such as memory and attention. To account …

Humans exhibit a remarkable capacity for flexible thought and action. Despite changing
internal needs and external context, individuals maintain stable goals and pursue purposeful …

Data analysis workflows in many scientific domains have become increasingly complex and
flexible. Here we assess the effect of this flexibility on the results of functional magnetic …

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

People often prefer the known over the unknown, sometimes sacrificing potential rewards
for the sake of surety. Overcoming impulsive preferences for certainty in order to exploit …

The study of navigational ability in humans is often limited by the restricted availability and
inconvenience of using large novel environments. In the present study we use a computer-…

Many decisions are made under uncertainty; that is, with limited information about their
potential consequences. Previous neuroimaging studies of decision making have implicated …

When in a bustling, raucous environment filled with noise, how can we still hear our name
being called from across the room? How do you know when looking at a woman standing in …

OBJECTIVE: The authors sought to increase understanding of the brain mechanisms involved
in cigarette addiction by identifying neural substrates modulated by visual smoking cues …
