Mice infer stimulus-side priors from recent choices; prior signals are decodable pre-stimulus in 24.0% to 30.2% of 242 brain regions, including early visual and motor areas.

The paper presents a brain-wide neural activity map from 621,733 neurons across 139 mice performing a decision-making task, showing how neural activity encodes task variables across brain regions.

This study shows serotonin modulates brain-wide neural activity during wakefulness but not during decision-making tasks, affecting a subspace orthogonal to choice.

The paper shows that mice with ASD-related mutations exhibit similar computational and neural anomalies in prior updating during decision-making.
