Is it possible to account for our patterns of short-term remembering and forgetting, and at the same time, make predictions about what the corresponding neural activity should look like? That is what we tried to do in a recent paper. Our model suggests that neurons in the prefrontal cortex are critical for storing information in…

Our eye movements are controlled by a relatively simple circuit in the brainstem. Remarkably, it seems to operate with less error when we are motivated by money. We showed that internal feedback gain — a process that stabilises motor plans as they are executed — increases with reward, thus improving the precision of the movement.…
