Striatal interneuron microcircuits gate reinforcement to stabilize adaptive choice

Evan Alexander Iliakis, Jonibek M. Muhsinov, Alexandra N. Ramirez, Francesco G. Rinaldi, Jamie Galanaugh, Saurabh Pandey, Ivan Linares-García, Aaron R Tachau, Eric Z Song, Luigim Vargas Cifuentes, Kyuhyun Choi, Joel Woolley, Sarah M. Ferrigno, Edgar Díaz-Hernández, Elizabeth N. Holly, , Marc Vincent Fuccillo

This study identifies a striatal interneuron circuit that gates reinforcement by linking outcome processing to adaptive action selection through disinhibitory microcircuitry.

Sample size dependence of Occam's razor in human decision-making

Francesco G. Rinaldi, Eugenio Piasini

This study investigates how humans balance model complexity and goodness-of-fit in decision-making, finding sublinear scaling of effective sample size rather than the normative linear scaling.

Seeing what you hear: compression of rat visual perceptual space by task-irrelevant sounds

Mattia Zanzi, Francesco G. Rinaldi, Silene Fornasaro, Eugenio Piasini, Davide Zoccolan

This study shows that task-irrelevant sounds compress rat visual perceptual space based on sound intensity, not temporal modulation frequency.
