Understanding how the brain processes reward and feedback is crucial to elucidating adaptive behaviour and decision-making. Extensive research has identified a network of neural structures—including ...

Findings of a recent collaborative study can provide deep insights into the neuronal mechanisms of spontaneous orofacial movements related to reward processing in animals In animals, movements such as ...

Humans and other primates learn cause-and-effect relationships in their environments by predicting the likelihood of an event, such as a reward. Importantly, we can learn this through direct ...

Researchers have uncovered a mechanism in the brain that allows cocaine and morphine to take over natural reward processing systems. Mount Sinai researchers, in collaboration with scientists at The ...

A new study published in The Journal of Neuroscience has found that type 2 diabetes can alter how the brain processes spatial and reward-related information. Using a rodent model of diabetes, ...

A study published in The Cerebellum provides initial experimental evidence that a single session of cerebellar High-Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) may help to maintain ...
