- Humans are inherently active participants in an unpredictable world, and the interaction between individual brains and their environments is dynamic and reciprocal.
- Traditional cognitive sciences often view the world as a static backdrop, but the proposed "world-informed neuroscience (WIN)" model includes the interactive nature of this relationship and emphasizes co-productive research with marginalized communities.
- Incorporating the social model of disability into cognitive sciences can reveal how social factors contribute to mismatches in understanding, and research should prioritize collaborative efforts from the start to enhance diversity and inclusion.
Article Synopsis
- Behavioral neuroscience has primarily focused on short-term decision making but lacks a clear framework for understanding medium- and long-term life actions.
- The redefined concept of value includes a driving force for actions based on past experiences, personalized aspects that reflect individual diversity, and the evolution of these values throughout one's life.

Since 2012, IBGC has been reported as an inherited disorder with several causative genes, including ; however, the genotype-phenotype association remains unclear.
