title: Uncovering a missing link in anterior cingulate research.
abstract: Research on human anterior cingulate cortex has long indicated a role in detecting conflict. However, efforts to find parallel effects in non-human primates were surprisingly unsuccessful. Here, Ebitz and Platt (2015) break the resulting impasse by uncovering what appear to be conflict-related signals in monkey cingulate cortex.
