The paper shows that verbal task instructions rapidly reconfigure visual representations in ventral temporal cortex via medial frontal cortex modulation.

The paper trains biologically inspired RNNs on cognitive tasks to study how bottom-up and top-down information is integrated, finding that low-level sensory neurons use disinhibitory circuits to combine these signals dynamically.

The paper investigates how neurons in the human pre-supplementary motor area (preSMA) encode decision variables during value-based choices, finding that preSMA neurons represent both separate pre-decision variables and an integrated utility signal.

This study examines how human neurons in prefrontal and medial temporal regions encode predictive associations during Pavlovian conditioning, revealing distinct roles in value prediction and error signaling.

The paper investigates how human amygdala neurons encode observational learning by tracking expected future rewards and outcome values, finding distinct neuronal subsets for self-experienced and observational value coding.
