An integrative theory of locus coeruleus-norepinephrine function: Adaptive gain and optimal performance
Article Abstract:
The complex and specific role played by the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine (LC-NE) system for controlling behavior is discussed. The phasic LC activation of neurons facilitates behavior and optimizes task performance while the tonic activity mode of LC neurons help in disengaging from the current task and exploring for alternative behaviors.

Imaging valuation models in human choice
Article Abstract:
The role played by the models of value learning in a new generation of experiments that seeks to build on a now-large body of diverse reward-related brain responses are evaluated. It is shown that models and the measurements based on them points toward the valuation of time and the valuation of fictive experience.
