1. Should Neuroscience Inform Judgements of Decision-Making Capacity? Abstract In this article, I present an argument that suggests neuroscience should inform judgments of decision-making capacity. First, I review key behavioral and neurocognitive data to demonstrate that neuroscientific tests might be predictive of decision-making capacity, and that these tests might inform clinical judgments of capacity. Second, I argue that,...
2. Counterfactual Reasoning Underlies the Learning of Priors in Decision Making Zylberberg et al. show that human decision makers can learn environmental biases from sequences of difficult decisions, without feedback about accuracy, by calculating the belief that the decisions would have been correct in an unbiased environment—a form of counterfactual confidence.

3. Dynamics of Awake Hippocampal-Prefrontal Replay for Spatial Learning and Memory-Guided Decision Making Shin, Tang, and Jadhav use continuous activity tracking to show that awake CA1 reverse- and forward-replay events predict past and future choices, respectively, with opposing spatial learning gradients. CA1-PFC replay supports recall and planning for spatial working memory tasks. Read More......
4. Excitatory and Inhibitory Neurons Utilize Different Ca2+ Sensors and Sources to Regulate Spontaneous Release Spontaneous neurotransmission is regulated by Ca2+, but the identities of the Ca2+-sensing proteins remain controversial. Courtney et al. elucidate the roles of the Ca2+ sensors synaptotagmin-1, Doc2α, and Doc2β and report that they differentially contribute to spontaneous excitatory and inhibitory release.
