The cingulum bundle: Anatomy, function, and dysfunction (2018, positive): “lated findings (Kennerley et al., 2006; Rushworth et al., 2004), it was proposed that the macaque anterior cingulate cortex helps in monitoring and reacting to particular forms of conflict, but that this executive control function may not always be revealed by selective lesions as this function is s”
The Neurobiology of Anhedonia and Other Reward-Related Deficits (2011, background): “Accordingly, ACC lesions result in preferences for low cost/low reward compared to high cost/high reward choices [49–51].”
Mental fatigue: costs and benefits. (2008, background): “The heavily interconnected structures of the ACC, OFC and BLA (Carmichael and Price, 1995; Floresco and Ghods-Sharifi, 2007; Öngür and Price, 2000) play complimentary roles in guiding behaviour based on predicted rewards and outcomes of current actions (Kennerley et al., 2006).”
Reinforcement learning signal predicts social conformity. (2009, neutral): “Cingulate lesions in monkeys impair their ability to use previous reinforcements to guide decision-making behavior (Kennerley et al., 2006).”
Choice, uncertainty and value in prefrontal and cingulate cortex (2008, result): “A learning rate that is flexibly adapted to suit the reward environment can therefore explain differences in the length of this curve that have been reported in recent experiment”
An information theoretical approach to prefrontal executive function. (2007, positive): “Here, we have focused exclusively on the lateral PFC; an important goal for future research will be to determine how the cognitive architecture of the lateral PFC interacts with other sectors of the PFC, and in particular with the medial PFC, which has been implicated in monitoring and evaluating on”
Surprise signals in anterior cingulate cortex: Neuronal encoding of unsigned reward prediction errors driving adjustment in behavior (2011, background): “…Seo and Lee, 2007; Kennerley and Wallis, 2009), is normalized to global reward context (Sallet et al., 2007), and provides signals useful for learning (Procyk et al., 2000; Matsumoto et al., 2007) and behavioral adjustments (Shima and Tanji, 1998; Kennerley et al., 2006; Quilodran et al., 2008).”
A neural circuit model of flexible sensorimotor mapping: learning and forgetting on multiple timescales. (2007, background): “For instance, simpler reversal learning of cue-reward contingencies can be very fast, within a few trials (Kennerley et al., 2006).”
Reconsidering Anhedonia in Depression: Lessons from Translational Neuroscience (2010, background): “More unique to the ACC is the specialized role of making reward choices, particularly during more complex decisions that require the integration of both cost and benefits (Kennerley et al., 2009; Kennerley et al., 2006; Rushworth and Behrens, 2008; Walton et al., 2006).”
