Neural coding of choice and outcome are modulated by uncertainty in orbitofrontal but not secondary motor cortex

Juan Luis Romero-Sosa, Alex Yeghikian, Andrew M. Wikenheiser, Hugh T. Blair, Alicia Izquierdo

The paper investigates how uncertainty modulates neural coding of choice and outcome in orbitofrontal (OFC) and secondary motor cortex (M2) during reward learning, finding differential roles in encoding under varying uncertainty levels.
