Hippocampal-cingulate dynamics in the human brain link reinforcement-learning and memory
Reinforcement learning (RL) models describe how reward computations shape our choices, but whether the same computations also shape memory in the human brain is unclear. To address this question, we combined multi-areal intracranial recordings with computational modeling of reward and memory in neurosurgical patients. Patients played a gambling task in which decisions yielded monetary rewards…
