Context-specific activation of hippocampus and SN/VTA by reward is related to enhanced long-term memory for embedded objects.

TL;DR: Improved memory was linked to context-related activation of the DG/CA3 and SN/VTA, which may determine whether memories are improved by contextual reward.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positron Emission Tomography in the Study of Brain Metabolism in Psychiatric and Neuropsychiatric Disorders

TL;DR: The development of resting-state metabolic studies by the application of specific activation paradigms, a major current focus of the technique, is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Bayesian model of context-sensitive value attribution

TL;DR: A normative (Bayesian) account of how rewards map to incentive values is introduced, suggesting that incentive value is intrinsically context-dependent and influenced by context variability and by hierarchically nested contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neural activity and fundamental learning, motivated by monetary loss and reward, are intact in mild to moderate major depressive disorder.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the severe motivational deficits clinically observed in depression are likely to have complex origins, possibly related to an impairment in the representation of future states necessary for long-term planning.
