Researchers have identified two distinct groups of neurons that help the brain evaluate risk and reward in decision-making.

Scientists have identified a previously unknown brain circuit that rapidly evaluates sensory information by integrating memories and emotions.

A newly identified part of a brain circuit mixes sensory information, memories, and emotions to tell whether things are familiar or new—and important or just "background noise." ...
