[PDF][PDF] Frontal cortex and reward-guided learning and decision-making

…, MAP Noonan, ED Boorman, ME Walton, TE Behrens - Neuron, 2011 - cell.com
Reward-guided decision-making and learning depends on distributed neural circuits with
many components. Here we focus on recent evidence that suggests four frontal lobe regions …

Measuring macroscopic brain connections in vivo

…, SN Haber, DC Van Essen, TE Behrens - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Decades of detailed anatomical tracer studies in non-human animals point to a rich and
complex organization of long-range white matter connections in the brain. State-of-the art in vivo …

Inhibitory engrams in perception and memory

HC Barron, TP Vogels, TE Behrens… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
… HC Barron, MM Garvert, TE Behrens, Repetition suppression: A means to index neural
representations using BOLD? Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 371:20150355. (2016b). …

Triangulating a cognitive control network using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI

AR Aron, TE Behrens, S Smith, MJ Frank… - Journal of …, 2007 - Soc Neuroscience
The ability to stop motor responses depends critically on the right inferior frontal cortex (IFC)
and also engages a midbrain region consistent with the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Here …

Task-free MRI predicts individual differences in brain activity during task performance

I Tavor, OP Jones, RB Mars, SM Smith, TE Behrens… - Science, 2016 - science.org
When asked to perform the same task, different individuals exhibit markedly different patterns
of brain activity. This variability is often attributed to volatile factors, such as task strategy or …

Anxious individuals have difficulty learning the causal statistics of aversive environments

M Browning, TE Behrens, G Jocham, JX O'reilly… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Statistical regularities in the causal structure of the environment enable us to predict the
probable outcomes of our actions. Environments differ in the extent to which action-outcome …

Frontal cortex subregions play distinct roles in choices between actions and stimuli

PH Rudebeck, TE Behrens, SW Kennerley… - Journal of …, 2008 - Soc Neuroscience
The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) has been implicated in reinforcement-guided decision making,
error monitoring, and the reversal of behavior in response to changing circumstances. The …

Using diffusion tractography to predict cortical connection strength and distance: a quantitative comparison with tracers in the monkey

…, M Hernandez-Fernandez, TE Behrens… - Journal of …, 2016 - Soc Neuroscience
Tractography based on diffusion MRI offers the promise of characterizing many aspects of
long-distance connectivity in the brain, but requires quantitative validation to assess its …

Determining anatomical connectivities between cortical and brainstem pain processing regions in humans: a diffusion tensor imaging study in healthy controls

G Hadjipavlou, P Dunckley, TE Behrens, I Tracey - Pain, 2006 - Elsevier
Neuroimaging methods have so far identified various structures in the brain involved in the
processing of pain and its control. However, our understanding of their anatomical …

[HTML][HTML] Counterfactual choice and learning in a neural network centered on human lateral frontopolar cortex

ED Boorman, TE Behrens, MF Rushworth - PLoS biology, 2011 - journals.plos.org
Decision making and learning in a real-world context require organisms to track not only the
choices they make and the outcomes that follow but also other untaken, or counterfactual, …
