This study shows that persistent representation of a prior schema in the orbitofrontal cortex supports learning of a conflicting schema in rats.

The paper shows that distinct prelimbic cortex ensembles encode response execution and inhibition during different phases of operant learning in rats.

The paper identifies distinct brain-wide presynaptic networks that underlie the functional identity of individual cortical neurons based on their behavioral state-dependent activity.

This study shows that MT area in macaques has task-related cognitive contributions distinct from motion encoding and decoding for direction discrimination.

The paper analyzes neural activity in primate MT cortex during perceptual decision-making and finds that choice-related signals are misaligned with stimulus encoding, suggesting feedback from downstream areas.

The paper analyzes neural activity in mouse visual areas to determine how different cell types and layers encode visual stimuli, finding that superficial layers and specific areas show higher stimulus-specific decodability.
