    Causal evidence for a domain-specific role of left superior frontal sulcus in human perceptual decision-making

    Miguel Barretto-Garcia, Marcus Grueschow ... Christian C Ruff
    Disrupting left superior frontal sulcus selectively impaired perceptual but not value-based decisions, revealing segregated prefrontal circuits for integrating sensory evidence versus subjective preferences in human choice behaviour.

    A forebrain hub for cautious actions via the midbrain

    Ji Zhou, Muhammad Sarmad Sajid ... Manuel A Castro-Alamancos
    Cautious action timing under threat depends on glutamatergic signaling from the subthalamic nucleus to the midbrain, revealing a circuit mechanism for adaptive goal-directed behavior.

    Executive resources shape the impact of language predictability across the adult lifespan

    Merle Marie Schuckart, Sandra Martin ... Jonas Obleser
    Analyses of self-paced reading times reveal that linguistic prediction deteriorates under limited executive resources, with this resource sensitivity becoming markedly more pronounced with advancing age.
