Temporal Coherence Shapes Cortical Responses to Speech Mixtures in a Ferret Cocktail Party

This study shows that attention to a target voice enhances its representation in ferret auditory cortex and that a computational model replicates this effect, supporting the temporal coherence theory of speech segregation.

Isolating perceptual biases caused by trial history during auditory categorization

The paper investigates perceptual biases in auditory categorization by distinguishing between aftereffects from previous stimuli and prediction biases from learned temporal regularities using a rat behavioral model.

Ecologically pre-trained RNNs explain suboptimal animal decisions

The paper shows that pre-trained RNNs in ecological tasks mimic rats' suboptimal decision-making in 2AFC tasks by gating across-trial evidence after errors.

More than a feeling: central amygdala mediates social transfer of information about proximity of danger

The paper shows that social signals convey explicit information about danger proximity, and the central amygdala circuits mediate context-appropriate defensive reactions.
