The paper investigates decision-making biases in health and disease using behavioural experiments, computational models, and pharmacology, revealing a neural circuit mechanism for pro-variance bias and its link to NMDA receptor hypofunction in schizophrenia.

The paper compares persistent and dynamic hypotheses of working memory coding in prefrontal cortex using a spatial WM task and finds that dynamic population-level activity in high time-constant neurons supports WM.
