Rapid value learning reveals generalized and context-dependent codes in frontal cortex

The paper shows that value representations in ACC and OFC develop rapidly and use distinct coding strategies, with ACC encoding generalized value and OFC showing context-dependent coding.

Neural signatures of model-based and model-free reinforcement learning across prefrontal cortex and striatum

This study identifies neural signatures of model-based and model-free reinforcement learning in prefrontal cortex and striatum using single-neuron recordings in rhesus macaques.

A cognitive map for value-guided choice in ventromedial prefrontal cortex

The paper shows that ventromedial prefrontal cortex uses grid-like coding and theta frequency modulation to represent value space during economic decisions.

Distributional reinforcement learning in prefrontal cortex

This study shows distributional reinforcement learning better explains prefrontal cortex responses compared to classic reinforcement learning.

Covert valuation for information sampling and choice

The paper shows that the anterior cingulate cortex encodes the value of peripheral cues before fixation to guide subsequent fixations and choices during economic decision-making.

Complementary task representationsin hippocampus and prefrontal cortexfor generalising the structure of problems

The paper shows that prefrontal cortex abstracts problem structure while hippocampus maps it to specific situations in mice during reversal learning.
