Differential processing of delay versus uncertainty in male but not female 16p11.2 hemideletion mice

This study shows that male 16p11.2 hemideletion mice show distinct decision-making patterns under delay and uncertainty compared to wildtype males, while females show no such differences.

Dopamine and norepinephrine differentially mediate the exploration-exploitation tradeoff

This study investigates how dopamine and norepinephrine differentially influence exploration-exploitation tradeoff in mice using pharmacological manipulations and behavioral tasks.

Sequential delay and probability discounting tasks in mice reveal anchoring effects partially attributable to decision noise

This study shows that anchoring effects in mice during delay and probability discounting tasks are more likely due to decision noise than persistent value changes, with females showing less anchoring than males.

Sex differences in learning from exploration

This study identifies sex differences in exploration patterns during value-based decision making in mice, showing males explore more but get stuck, while females explore less but learn faster.

Divergent strategies for learning in males and females

The paper finds that female and male mice use different strategies to learn value-based decisions in a two-armed bandit task, with females learning faster and using a more constrained approach.
