Neuroimaging provides novel insights into how the motor system represents sequences of actions by automatically separating their spatial and temporal features for flexible skill production.

Functional connectivity in the human brain reflects changes in synaptic plasticity induced with repeated paired stimulation.

The default mode network in the brain is activated during the performance of executive-type tasks when a substantial change in cognitive contents is required.

Dopamine neurons projecting to different targets receive a similar set of inputs, rather than forming reciprocal connections, whereas those projecting to the posterior striatum receive a distinct set of inputs.

Experiments in macaques and humans reveal time-varying changes in prefrontal cortex activity that occur during decisions based on costs and benefits.

Human fMRI experiments reveal differences in the propagation of spontaneous brain activity during sleep versus wakefulness.

Within the monkey orbitofrontal cortex, a posterior part learns new values, whereas an anterior part translates this knowledge into advantageous decisions.

Neuronal ELAV-like (nELAVL) proteins are associated with non-coding Y RNAs in stressed neurons and in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients, suggesting a new means of regulatory protein sequestration and mRNA target regulation.

A dynamic and hierarchical sequence of steps in human frontal cortex orchestrates cognitive control.

Neural confidence signals can take the role of reward signals and explain perceptual learning without external feedback as a form of internal reinforcement learning.
