This study identifies two distinct neural representations in mouse medial frontal cortex during flexible navigation, showing how they encode position and goal distance to guide behavior.

The paper develops a behavioural assay to study flexible navigation in mice, showing they learn maze structures quickly and navigate efficiently.

This study shows that maturation of prefrontal cortex to dorsal raphe nucleus projections in mice enhances behavioral persistence, as demonstrated by optogenetic stimulation and genetic ablation experiments.

This study compares inference-based decision-making in mice and humans using a foraging task, showing humans learn the strategy much faster and identifying orbitofrontal cortex's role in maintaining inference-based decisions.
