Consensus across limbic areas predicts motivational disengagement

The paper identifies a neural signal across limbic areas that predicts motivational disengagement independent of reward expectations, suggesting collective computation underlies motivation.

Long-term Learning Induces Plastic Changes in Frontostriatal Circuits

This study shows that long-term learning shifts information processing from the ventral striatum to the orbitofrontal cortex in macaques, challenging traditional theories of reinforcement learning.

Cross-species real time detection of trends in pupil size fluctuation

This paper introduces rtPupilPhase, an open-source software for real-time detection of pupil size fluctuation trends across species.

Computational mechanisms underlying motivation to earn symbolic reinforcers

This study uses a reinforcement learning model to examine how monkeys' motivation to earn symbolic reinforcers is influenced by task state values.

Neurons in inferior temporal cortex are sensitive to motion trajectory during degraded object recognition

The paper shows that neurons in the inferior temporal cortex can integrate motion and shape information during degraded object recognition, challenging previous assumptions about their function.
