Dopaminergic reward signals shape foraging decisions through learned value expectations

This study shows mice use learned value expectations to guide foraging decisions, with dopamine signaling reward prediction errors that shape behavior in dynamic environments.

Flexible foraging decisions by configuration of orthogonal integrator dynamics

The paper shows that mice use orthogonal neural subspaces for context-specific decision-making in foraging tasks, supporting flexible cognition through modular learning and strategy switching.

Competitive integration of time and reward explains value-sensitive foraging decisions and frontal cortex ramping dynamics

The paper develops a model integrating time and reward to explain foraging decisions and identifies frontal cortex ramping dynamics as a mechanism for solving patch foraging problems.
