Abstract: Computational psychiatry provides a powerful new approach for linking the behavioral manifestations of addiction to their precise cognitive and neurobiological substrates. However, this emerging area of research is still limited in important ways. While research… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.eurpsy.2017.01.083
Abstract: Background Tourette syndrome (TS) has long been thought to involve dopaminergic disturbances, given the effectiveness of antipsychotics in diminishing tics. Molecular-imaging studies have, by and large, confirmed that there are specific alterations in the dopaminergic… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Pietraszewski exemplifies the need for computational theory using group conflict; I complement this with an example of group cooperation. He criticizes past theories for having black boxes; I suggest his theory also has a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0140525x2100128x
Abstract: Abstract We welcome a computational theory on social groups, yet we argue it would benefit from a broader scope. A neuroscientific perspective offers the possibility to disentangle which computations employed in a group context are… read more here.
