Sex-biased computations underlying differential set shift performance in mice

The paper investigates sex differences in cognitive flexibility using a novel touchscreen Set Shift task in mice, finding females perform better with fewer errors and distinct computational strategies.

16p11.2 duplication shows early male-biased impacts on reward learning, but NMDA receptor antagonism reduces optimal choice selection in both wildtypes and 16p11.2 duplication

This study examines how 16p11.2 duplication affects reward learning in mice, finding male-biased impacts in early training but no genotype effect in a bandit task, while NMDAR antagonism impairs choice flexibility in all animals.

Touchscreen response precision is sensitive to the explore/exploit tradeoff

This study shows that touchscreen response precision in mice is influenced by explore/exploit state, reward history, and individual differences, reflecting subjective certainty in reward-guided decision making.
