This study shows that NMDA receptor loss in the medial prefrontal cortex impairs value updating and reward history integration in mice, mimicking schizophrenia-like cognitive deficits.

This study examines how 16p11.2 duplication affects reward learning in mice, finding male-biased impacts in early training but no genotype effect in a bandit task, while NMDAR antagonism impairs choice flexibility in all animals.

This study shows that touchscreen response precision in mice is influenced by explore/exploit state, reward history, and individual differences, reflecting subjective certainty in reward-guided decision making.
