Human claustrum neurons encode uncertainty and prediction errors during aversive learning

Flexible behavior depends on continuous updating of internal models, yet the neural circuits coordinating this process remain poorly understood. The claustrum, which is reciprocally connected to nearly the entire neocortex, is uniquely positioned to influence cortical processing....

Context-sensitivity and longitudinal stability of the effects of depressive symptoms on social and reward decision-making

Depressive symptoms could affect decision-making in multiple ways, yet it remains unclear whether these effects are context-sensitive or stable over time. In this longitudinal study, 236 online participants (n=129 at 1-month follow-up) completed a social exchange task (Ultimatum...
