Consideration of signal detection theory shows how decision ecology relates to optimal collective decisions, helping explain the prevalence of quorum-sensing in even the simplest collective systems, such as bacterial communities.
Activity in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex encodes relative subjective value in a common neural code across decision-making for self and other and across tasks with divergent cognitive requirements.
Claire A Symanski, John H Bladon ... Shantanu P Jadhav
A novel mechanism of long-range coordination mediated by beta oscillations across sensory and cognitive netowrks for utilization of odor-cued associations and translating them into decisions.
A normative decision-making model that incorporates an information-limiting attention bottleneck is able to qualitatively replicate human behavior and make novel predictions that are verified in data.
Maria Ruesseler, Lilian Aline Weber ... Laurence Tudor Hunt
Human behaviour in a continuous decision making task adapts to the overall statistics of the sensory environment, and these adaptations are also reflected in changes in neural responses to incoming sensory evidence.
Nicholas W Barendregt, Joshua I Gold ... Zachary P Kilpatrick
In environments that fluctuate over the course of deliberation, optimal decision strategies display novel dynamics that can explain human response behaviors better than commonly used alternatives.
Divisive normalisation effects on decision making caused by distractor options can be reduced by stimulating the parietal cortex using transcranial magnetic stimulation.
The subjective value of engaging in human social situations, and amygdala and nucleus accumbens activation and their connectivity during social decision-making, vary with social anxiety traits.
Ana Luisa de A Marcelino, Owen Gray ... Tom Gilbertson
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) exhibit that the excitability of the basal ganglia can govern the trade off between exploiting available resources or exploring alternative courses of action.
