The paper identifies a time-cost-variable accumulation-to-threshold computation in the dorsomedial striatum that predicts when mice exit foraging patches based on reward history and environmental context.

This paper derives expressions for reward-rate maximization in temporal decision-making and identifies the Malapportionment Hypothesis as a driver of suboptimal behavior.

This study identifies RPE signals in the ventral pallidum that predict task engagement and influence reward-seeking behavior in rats.
