Consistent hierarchies of single-neuron timescales in mice, macaques and humans Open
The intrinsic timescales of single neurons are thought to be hierarchically organized across the cortex. This conclusion, however, is primarily based on analyses of neural responses from macaques. Whether hierarchical variation in timescal…

Dissociable Representations of Decision Variables within Subdivisions of the Macaque Orbital and Ventrolateral Frontal Cortex Open
The ventral frontal cortex (VFC) in macaques is involved in many affective and cognitive processes and has a key role in flexibly guiding reward-based decision-making. VFC is composed of a set of anatomically distinct subdivisions that are…

Decision-making shapes dynamic inter-areal communication within macaque ventral frontal cortex Open
SUMMARY Macaque ventral frontal cortex is comprised of a set of anatomically heterogeneous and highly interconnected areas. Collectively these areas have been implicated in many higher-level affective and cognitive processes, most notably …

Dissociable representations of decision variables within subdivisions of macaque orbitofrontal and ventrolateral frontal cortex Open
Ventral frontal cortex (VFC) in macaques is involved in many affective and cognitive processes and has a key role in flexibly guiding reward-based decision-making. VFC is composed of a set of anatomically distinct subdivisions that are wit…

Comparative basolateral amygdala connectomics reveals dissociable single-neuron projection patterns to frontal cortex in macaques and mice Open
Short abstract The basolateral amygdala (BLA) projects to the frontal cortex (FC) in both rodents and primates, but the comparative organization of single-neuron BLA-FC projections is unknown. Using a barcoded connectomic approach, we foun…

The neural basis of resting-state fMRI functional connectivity in fronto-limbic circuits revealed by chemogenetic manipulation Open
Measures of fMRI resting-state functional connectivity (rs-FC) are an essential tool for basic and clinical investigations of fronto-limbic circuits. Understanding the relationship between rs-FC and neural activity in these circuits is the…

Preferences reveal separable valuation systems in prefrontal-limbic circuits Open
Individual preferences for the flavor of different foods and fluids exert a strong influence on behavior. Most current theories posit that preferences are integrated with other state variables in orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), which is though…

The Differential Weights of Motivational and Task Performance Measures on Medial and Lateral Frontal Neural Activity Open
Behavioral adaptations are triggered by different constraints given by rules, and are informed by outcomes, or motivational changes. Neural activity in multiple frontal areas is modulated during behavioral adaptations, but the source of th…

High-throughput sequencing of macaque basolateral amygdala projections reveals dissociable connectional motifs with frontal cortex Open
The basolateral amygdala (BLA) projects widely across the macaque frontal cortex 1–4 , and amygdalo-frontal projections are critical for optimal emotional responding 5 and decision- making 6 . Yet, little is known about the single-neuron a…

Inhibitory control of frontal metastability sets the temporal signature of cognition Open
Cortical dynamics are organized over multiple anatomical and temporal scales. The mechanistic origin of the temporal organization and its contribution to cognition remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate the cause of this organization by stud…

Piecing together the orbitofrontal puzzle. Open
For almost a century, researchers have puzzled over how the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) contributes to behavior. Our understanding of the functions of this area has evolved as each new finding and piece of information is added to complete t…

Investigating Confidence Judgments using Reviews in Human and Monkeys Open
Confidence judgments are self-assessments of the quality of one’s own performance, and are a crucial aspect of metacognitive abilities. The underlying neurobiological mechanisms are poorly understood. One approach to understanding these me…
View article: Amygdala input differentially influences prefrontal local field potential and single neuron encoding of reward-based decisions
Amygdala input differentially influences prefrontal local field potential and single neuron encoding of reward-based decisions Open
Reward-guided behaviors require functional interaction between amygdala, orbital (OFC), and medial (MFC) divisions of prefrontal cortex, but the neural mechanisms underlying these interactions are unclear. Here, we used a decoding approach…

Prefrontal Markers and Cognitive Performance Are Dissociated during Progressive Dopamine Lesion Open
Dopamine is thought to directly influence the neurophysiological mechanisms of both performance monitoring and cognitive control-two processes that are critically linked in the production of adapted behaviour. Changing dopamine levels are …

The Effects of Cognitive Control and Time on Frontal Beta Oscillations Open
Frontal beta oscillations are associated with top-down control mechanisms but also change over time during a task. It is unclear whether change over time represents another control function or a neural instantiation of vigilance decrements…
