Neural representations of both general event schemas and story-specific details predict memory performance in narrative recall, with distinct brain networks tracking schematic information during perception versus retrieval.

A brain chart database, containing functional and structural normative models, was tested to compare normative modeling features to raw features across three benchmarking tasks including group difference testing, classification, and regression.

A computational model of decision making suggests that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex's role in self-control is more associated with evidence accumulation processes than with inhibition or modulation of value.

C. elegans foraging efficiently approximate maximally informative search strategies that involve abrupt switching between different types of behaviors.

Hypothetical battles between animals can be used to interest the general public in biology.

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.

Judgments of how much time elapsed between two events in a story are predicted by changes in fMRI activity patterns.

A nonlinear deep generative model can represent fetal–neonatal resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging better than conventional linear models.

Prominent transitions between different mental contexts produce a stereotyped brain state shared across internally and externally generated transitions but distinct from minor within-context transitions, potentially reflecting a major flushing and updating of mental models.

Theoretically optimal dynamics for making decisions in unpredictable environments provide a broadly applicable framework for understanding choice behavior and underlying neural signals.
