Understanding how the brain processes reward and feedback is crucial to elucidating adaptive behaviour and decision-making. Extensive research has identified a network of neural structures—including ...

Findings of a recent collaborative study can provide deep insights into the neuronal mechanisms of spontaneous orofacial movements related to reward processing in animals In animals, movements such as ...

Humans and other primates learn cause-and-effect relationships in their environments by predicting the likelihood of an event, such as a reward. Importantly, we can learn this through direct ...

Mount Sinai researchers, in collaboration with scientists at The Rockefeller University, have uncovered a mechanism in the brain that allows cocaine and morphine to take over natural reward processing ...

Researchers have uncovered a mechanism in the brain that allows cocaine and morphine to take over natural reward processing systems. Mount Sinai researchers, in collaboration with scientists at The ...

A new study published in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging suggests that stress experienced during basic combat training may dampen the brain’s ability to respond to ...
