Learning to select computations in recurrent neural circuits

This paper develops a recurrent neural network model that learns to select computations by combining rational meta-reasoning with meta-learning, demonstrating its ability to approximate optimal symbolic models and replicate neural dynamics in macaque and human planning tasks.

Neural representation of the decisional reference point in monkeys

This study identifies neural encoding of the decisional reference point in macaques, showing that only the ventral bank of the anterior cingulate cortex encodes it at the population level.

Attention-dependent attribute comparisons underlie multi-attribute decision-making in orbitofrontal cortex

This study investigates how orbitofrontal cortex neurons integrate and compare multi-attribute options during decision-making in monkeys.

Pulvinar perturbation causes functional reorganization of visual attentional information in posterior parietal cortex

This study shows that pulvinar perturbation reorganizes neural codes in posterior parietal cortex during visuospatial attention tasks without affecting behavior.

Anterior cingulate cortex neurons in macaques encode social image identities

The paper shows that ACCg neurons in macaques encode social image identities more than nonsocial ones, even when identity is irrelevant to the task.

Abstraction of reward context facilitates relative reward coding in neural populations of the anterior cingulate cortex

The paper analyzes neural population activity in the anterior cingulate cortex of monkeys to show how context is abstractly represented and how outcomes are encoded relative to this context.

Reservoir-based Tracking (TRAKR) For One-shot Classification Of Neural Time-series Patterns

TRAKR classifies neural time-series patterns with high accuracy using one-shot learning, outperforming distance metrics and matching deep supervised methods.

Stable and dynamic representations of value in the prefrontal cortex

This study investigates how value representations are maintained in prefrontal cortex during delayed reward tasks, finding mixed dynamics that combine stable and dynamic features.
