The paper investigates how mice accumulate visual evidence during decision-making and finds that neural responses show amplitude modulations and deviations from Weber's Law, suggesting a feedback-based accumulation mechanism.

This study shows that lateral orbitofrontal cortex (lOFC) promotes learning of risky biases but not spatial biases in rats during decision-making tasks.

This study applies Prospect Theory to rats, showing they exhibit probability distortion and diminishing sensitivity similar to humans, suggesting shared neural mechanisms.

The paper shows that neural activity in visual cortices during navigation tasks encodes cognitive variables and is modulated by accumulated evidence, explaining deviations from Weber-Fechner Law.

The paper identifies the anterior dorsal striatum as the first brain region satisfying criteria for evidence accumulation during decision-making in rodents.

This paper introduces a new evidence-accumulation task for mice in virtual reality, showing they accumulate visual evidence to make decisions, with performance influenced by evidence magnitude but not duration.

This study shows that the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) represents sensory history and its effects on behavior, with optogenetic silencing improving performance by reducing prior sensory influence.

This study shows rats can optimally accumulate and discount evidence in dynamic environments by adjusting their timescales based on environmental statistics and noise.

This study provides causal evidence linking the dorsal hippocampus to planning behavior using a novel task and muscimol inactivation in rodents.

The paper presents a new analysis technique for multi-step decision tasks that reduces confounding issues and provides a theory-neutral view of behavior.
