Planning in Nonhuman Primates Emerges from Structure Knowledge and is Distinct from Attention, Working Memory, Effort Control, and Learning

This study shows that planning in non-human primates is a distinct cognitive ability separate from working memory, attention, and learning.

Inhibitory Control, Shifting, and Working Memory Updating Domains form Cognitive Phenotypes in Non-human Primates

This study identifies four separable cognitive factors in non-human primates through multi-task assessments, revealing distinct cognitive phenotypes related to executive functions.

Cognitive engagement induces area-specific fingerprints of dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, glutamate and GABA in prefrontal cortex and striatum

The paper examines how cognitive engagement alters neurochemical profiles in the prefrontal cortex and striatum of nonhuman primates, identifying area-specific changes in dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, glutamate, and GABA.

Environmental enrichment accelerates cortical memory consolidation

This study shows that environmental enrichment accelerates memory consolidation in mice by enhancing the stability and precision of cortical neuron activity during task learning.

Assessing Attentiveness and Cognitive Engagement across Tasks using Video-based Action Understanding in Non-Human Primates

This paper introduces a video-based analysis pipeline to classify cognitive states like attentiveness and engagement in non-human primates during tasks, achieving >90% decoding accuracy.

Two Distinct Attentional Priorities Guide Exploratory and Exploitative Gaze in Parallel

The paper shows that gaze is guided by two attentional priorities: exploratory attention for uncertainty and exploitative attention for reward history, using nonhuman primates in a learning task.

Flexible Learning and Re-ordering of Context-dependent Object Sequences in Nonhuman Primates

This study shows nonhuman primates can re-index objects to non-adjacent positions in learned sequences using context cues, suggesting they form cognitive maps of serial experiences.

Adaptive Reinforcement Learning is causally supported by Anterior Cingulate Cortex and Striatum

This study shows that ACC and striatum causally adjust exploration-exploitation balance during reinforcement learning, with opposing effects on learning from reward outcomes.

Cortical Reactivation of Non-Spatial and Spatial Memory Representations Coordinate with Hippocampus to Form a Memory Dialogue

The paper investigates how non-spatial and spatial memory representations in the cortex interact with hippocampal activity during memory consolidation, showing that non-spatial attributes precede spatial reactivation.

M1 selective muscarinic allosteric modulation enhances cognitive flexibility and effective salience in nonhuman primates

This study shows that M1 receptor selective modulation improves cognitive flexibility without affecting attentional filtering in nonhuman primates.
