Literature highlight of the week: Elston and Wallis used a state-dependent choice task in monkeys to show that the hippocampus relays context-based information via theta waves to the orbitofrontal cortex, which informs valuation and choice

Our paper published in @NatureComms! We used evidence accumulation model to explain why people make decisions slower after rule switch. There is a reduction in sensory weight, perhaps reflecting the difficulty of switching sensory readout. @luo_tianlin

Literature highlight of the week: Xu et al. show how robustness and sensitivity coexist in neural networks by analyzing neural dynamics in the monkey prefrontal cortex and using comptational approaches

Our new study is out!

We (@CarlenLab) mapped the mouse PFC using single-unit activity! We recorded ~23,000 neurons across cortical/subcortical regions and profiled spont. firing patterns to reveal what separates the PFC from other brain regions.

Literature highlight of the week: Van de Maele et al. propose a hierarchical active inference model clarifying how the hippocampal-medial prefrontal cortex circuit solves spatial interaction tasks by bridging physical and task-space maps.

Literature highlight of the week: El-Gaby et al. identify an algorithm that relates medial frontal cortex role in schema formation and sequence memory, by internally organizing mnemonic activity according to an abstract structure shared by different tasks

Literature highlight of the week: Lam et al. used a decision task with rule reversals in tree shrews and found that relevant thalamic neurons drive prefrontal reconfiguration following a reversal by attributing errors to an environmental change
