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 ...

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 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 ...

A new study published in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging suggests that stress experienced during basic combat training may dampen the brain’s ability to respond to ...
