Revealing abrupt transitions from goal-directed to habitual behavior

This study demonstrates that the transition from goal-directed to habitual behavior is abrupt, using a novel palatability-driven approach and computational modeling to observe behavioral changes.

Rapid emergence of latent knowledge in the sensory cortex drives learning

This paper investigates how the auditory cortex drives rapid learning and slower performance improvements in mice during an auditory go/no-go task, revealing two distinct higher-order signals involved in these processes.

A connectional hub in the rostral anterior cingulate cortex links areas of emotion and cognitive control

The paper identifies a connectional hub in the rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC) that integrates inputs from diverse frontal cortex regions in both macaques and humans.
