[PDF][PDF] Human orbitofrontal cortex represents a cognitive map of state space
Although the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has been studied intensely for decades, its precise
functions have remained elusive. We recently hypothesized that the OFC contains a "cognitive …

Sequential replay of nonspatial task states in the human hippocampus
INTRODUCTION The hippocampus plays an important role in memory and spatial navigation.
When rodents navigate a spatial maze, hippocampal neurons called place cells show …

Reduced striatal responses to reward prediction errors in older compared with younger adults
B Eppinger, NW Schuck, LE Nystrom… - Journal of …, 2013 - Soc Neuroscience
We examined whether older adults differ from younger adults in how they learn from rewarding
and aversive outcomes. Human participants were asked to either learn to choose actions …

[PDF][PDF] Medial prefrontal cortex predicts internally driven strategy shifts
Many daily behaviors require us to actively focus on the current task and ignore all other
distractions. Yet, ignoring everything else might hinder the ability to discover new ways to …

Decoding cognition from spontaneous neural activity
In human neuroscience, studies of cognition are rarely grounded in non-task-evoked, ‘spontaneous’
neural activity. Indeed, studies of spontaneous activity tend to focus predominantly …

An integrated model of action selection: distinct modes of cortical control of striatal decision making
Making decisions in environments with few choice options is easy. We select the action that
results in the most valued outcome. Making decisions in more complex environments, where …

The role of mental maps in decision-making
A growing body of work is investigating the use of mental maps during decision-making. Here
we discuss how decision-making organizes experiences according to an internal model of …

[PDF][PDF] Goal-seeking compresses neural codes for space in the human hippocampus and orbitofrontal cortex
Humans can navigate flexibly to meet their goals. Here, we asked how the neural representation
of allocentric space is distorted by goal-directed behavior. Participants navigated an …

Replay in minds and machines
…, S Chien, S Hall-McMaster, NW Schuck - … & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2021 - Elsevier
Experience-related brain activity patterns reactivate during sleep, wakeful rest, and brief
pauses from active behavior. In parallel, machine learning research has found that experience …
