White principal investigators applying to the National Science Foundation are consistently funded at higher rates than most non-white PIs.

Relative to children and adults, adolescents placed greater weight on negative prediction errors during learning and these age-varying learning idiosyncrasies biased subsequent memory for information associated with valenced outcomes.

The primate caudal area 47/12 is anatomically and functionally connected with the main nodes of the salience network, supporting the role of the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex in all major attention networks.

Inducible transcription in the brain encodes detailed aspects of recent experience.

Perceived imminence of threat and resulting intensity of defensive responses during serial compound stimulus conditioning are determined by auditory stimulus salience, not cue sequence as recently reported.

Two different analysis approaches for measuring neural synchronization to natural music revealed strongest synchronization to musical spectral flux as opposed to the more commonly used amplitude envelope.

Children with autism often 'tune out' the voices in their environment and new results show that impaired processing of voices in the brain's reward system may underlie this social behavior.

Looking away from a salient visual stimulus pits the reflexive urge to look toward it against the voluntary intention not to, and this conflict is resolved within tens of milliseconds.

Analysis of data on drug-gene interactions suggests that decentralized collaboration will increase the robustness of scientific findings in biomedical research.

Everyday soundscapes dynamically engage attention towards target sounds or salient ambient events, with both attentional forms engaging the same fronto-parietal network but in a push-pull competition for limited neural resources.
