The manner by which endocrine-disrupting xenobiotics, such as phthalates, can induce changes in the development of the male reproductive system still remains largely unknown. Herein, we have explored the application of ethane dimethane sulphonate (ED...

Juxtacrine signalling mechanisms are known to be crucial in tissue and organ development, leading to spatial patterns in gene expression. We investigate the patterning behaviour of a discrete model of juxtacrine cell signalling due to Owen \& Sherrat...

Neuronal signals for reward risk in frontal cortex: Risky reward signals (2011)
Journal Article
O’Neill, M., Tobler, P. N., Kobayashi, S., & Schultz, W. (2011). Neuronal signals for reward risk in frontal cortex: Risky reward signals. Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1239(1), 109-117. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1749-6632.2011.06256.x

Rewards can be viewed as probability distributions of reward values. Besides expected (mean) value, a key parameter of such distributions is variance (or standard deviation), which constitutes a measure of risk. Single neurons in orbitofrontal cortex...
