"fMRI is well-placed to integrate the diverse subfields of systems, cognitive, computational and clinical neuroscience" argue Emily Finn Russ Poldrack Mac Shine in their @nature perspective, (my personal favorite paper in our #SfN2023 special issue) nature.com/articles/s4158…

How can animals learn from rewards across timescales? Our work with Pablo Tano HyungGoo Kim Athar N Malik, MD, PhD Alexandre Pouget Naoshige Uchida explores how dopamine neurons could enable multi-timescale reinforcement learning in the brain biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

"I am a loser." "I am amazing." In depressed and non-depressed patients, OFC responds equally during negative judgments, but OFC responses during positive self-judgments are nearly absent in those with high depression scores! jneurosci.org/content/44/11/…

People living with #Parkinson’s disease use their brains more to stay motivated, a study from @UodMedicine reveals. Patients can create a pathway in their brain to prevent apathy, a common symptom of the illness. buff.ly/43Oxebf

STN serves as the brain's primary pincushion for DBS. But it has important and fascinating functions beyond that. Subthalamic nucleus anatomy and function thread…
