Out now in PLOS Biology: Sequential neuronal processing of number values, abstract decision, and action in the primate prefrontal cortex.
Very excited that @yorkpsychology.bsky.social is recruiting a Chair in Mental Health!
Come to York! It's a lovely place to be and we have great neuroimaging facilities (if that is your bag). Please RT!
