Subpopulations of neurons in lOFC encode previous and current rewards at time of choice

A distinct subpopulation of neurons in the rat orbitofrontal cortex encodes reward history at the time of choice, providing a potential neural substrate by which reward history may influence decisi...

A cognitive process model captures near-optimal confidence-guided waiting in rats

Rational decision-makers invest more time pursuing rewards they are more confident they will eventually receive. A series of studies have therefore used willingness to wait for delayed rewards as a...

Acetylcholine demixes heterogeneous dopamine signals for learning and moving

Midbrain dopamine neurons promote reinforcement learning and movement vigor. A major outstanding question is how dopamine-recipient neurons in the striatum parse these heterogeneous signals. Here we...
