Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has long been known to play an important role in decision making.
However, the exact nature of that role has remained elusive. Here, we propose a unifying …

Reports findings from 2 studies of the teaching roles of college and university faculty members,
the impact they have on students, and those variables of greatest relevance for improving …

Activation of cell division in the root apical meristem after germination is essential for
postembryonic root development. Arabidopsis plants homozygous for a mutation in the ROOT …

The ability to make inferences about the current state of a dynamic process requires ongoing
assessments of the stability and reliability of data generated by that process. We found that …

A survey of faculty members at six diverse colleges and universities indicates that the

Maintaining appropriate beliefs about variables needed for effective decision making can be
difficult in a dynamic environment. One key issue is the amount of influence that unexpected …

Computational modeling of behavior has revolutionized psychology and neuroscience. By
fitting models to experimental data we can probe the algorithms underlying behavior, find …

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 …

Methodological problems such as definition, the uncommonness-of-response method, the
remoteness-of-association method, and cleverness are discussed in terms of a particular factor…
