The paper uses phase response curves and RNA-sequencing to show spiders' sensitivity to light and identify candidate light-responsive genes.

This study shows that rat orbitofrontal cortex updates beliefs about hidden reward states during a temporal wagering task, with neural signatures of state inference identified through electrophysiology and population analysis.

This study shows dopamine in the nucleus accumbens encodes reward prediction errors independently of learning rates, suggesting dopamine-independent mechanisms for dynamic learning rates.

This study shows that endogenous 17β-estradiol enhances reward prediction errors in the nucleus accumbens by reducing dopamine reuptake, thereby influencing reinforcement learning.

This study shows rats use distinct value computations for sequential decisions within trials, revealing how different value estimates interact dynamically during rapid decision-making.
