Brain and Cognition 

TL;DR: Examining some of the main constituent processes of cognitive control as involved in dynamic decision making: goal-directed action selection, response activation and inhibition, performance monitoring, and reward-based learning finds medial frontal cortex is found to be involved in performance monitoring.

TL;DR: Evidence shows that the orbitofrontal cortex is involved in decoding and representing some primary reinforcers such as taste and touch; in learning and reversing associations of visual and other stimuli to these primary rein forcers; and in controlling and correcting reward-related and punishment-related behavior, and thus in emotion.

TL;DR: An overview of the author's recent electrophysiological studies of anterior cerebral asymmetries related to emotion and affective style is presented and a theoretical account is provided of the role of the two hemispheres in emotional processing.

TL;DR: The cases that led to the diagnosis of glucocorticoid-induced 'steroid psychosis' in human populations are summarized and it is suggested that some of the 'age-related memory impairments' observed in the literature could be partly due to increased stress reactivity in older adults to the environmental context of testing.

TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed in support of "The Somatic Marker Hypothesis", which provides a systems-level neuroanatomical and cognitive framework for decision-making and suggests that the process of decision- making depends in many important ways on neural substrates that regulate homeostasis, emotion, and feeling.
