Monkeys typically find other monkeys impossible to ignore, and this experiment was no exception: the monkeys often failed at the reward task because they looked at the faces, especially if the faces depicted emotion.When humans are torn between paying attention to two different things, it triggers a «conflict» circuit in a brain region called the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) which is part of a larger brain structure controlling rational thought and emotions.Using a tiny sensor implanted in the dACCs of the monkeys, Platt's group was able to measure the electrical activity of single neurons.

As a result, choosing which Jeep Grand Cherokee model is right for you isn't exactly easy — though we reckon, due to the rather sparse amount of equipment on the entry - level «Laredo» trim (dual - zone climate control, a reversing camera and rear parking sensors are about as fancy as the standard equipment levels get), we recommend you consider the $ 35,375 75th Anniversary trim, as that comes with the sort of features you expect from a vehicle of this caliber (18inch alloy wheels, heated and power - adjustable front seats and an 8.4 - inch touchscreen interface that replaces the tiny 5inch system seen on the Laredo - spec Jeep Grand Cherokees) whilst being fairly reasonably priced.
