Model of a striatal circuit exploring biological mechanisms underlying decision-making during normal and disordered states

This paper develops a computational model of striatal circuits that explains decision-making mechanisms and links them to neuropsychiatric disorders through altered information processing.

Effect of Acute Alcohol Consumption in a Novel Rodent Model of Decision Making

This study examines the effects of acute alcohol consumption on decision-making in male and female rats using a novel behavioral task, revealing sex-dependent differences in approach-avoid behavior.

A modular, adaptable, and accessible implant kit for chronic electrophysiological recordings in rats

The paper describes a chronic electrophysiological implant kit for rats that allows precise probe adjustment and modular customization.

Computational Primitives for Cost-Benefit Decision-Making

This paper identifies computational strategies for cost-benefit decision-making in humans and rodents, showing their shared use and adaptation based on factors like hunger and sex.
