Distinct streams for supervised and unsupervised learning in the visual cortex

The paper investigates whether perceptual learning in mice is due to supervised or unsupervised learning by analyzing neural activity in visual cortex during task learning and unrewarded exposure.

Learning produces a hippocampal cognitive map in the form of an orthogonalized state machine

The paper shows that learning in the hippocampus produces orthogonalized neural representations resembling a state machine, captured by HMMs and biologically plausible networks, but not by gradient-based models.

Meta-learning in head fixed mice navigating in virtual reality: A Behavioral Analysis

This study demonstrates meta-learning in head-fixed mice navigating virtual reality by showing increased learning speed and modified motor programs during task changes.
