A multi-region recurrent circuit for evidence accumulation in rats

This study shows that rats' anterodorsal striatum and prefrontal cortex work together in a recurrent circuit for evidence accumulation, with bidirectional communication and robustness to perturbations.

Striatal pathways oppositely shift cortical activity along the decision axis

The paper investigates how direct and indirect basal ganglia pathways influence cortical activity during decision-making, finding that they oppositely modulate a subset of neurons encoding decision variables.

A neural mechanism for learning from delayed postingestive feedback

The paper shows that postingestive malaise signals reactivate amygdala flavor representations, strengthening memory and resolving temporal credit assignment in aversive learning.

To integrate or not to integrate: Testing degenerate strategies for solving an accumulation of perceptual evidence decision-making task

The paper tests whether rats use an integration strategy or degenerate strategies in a perceptual decision-making task and finds they predominantly use integration.

Multi-region coordination of evidence accumulation and decision commitment in the brain

This study investigates decision-making phases in the brain using simultaneous recordings, supporting a single accumulator model and revealing abrupt covert commitment transitions.

Transitions in dynamical regime and neural mode underlie perceptual decision-making

The paper identifies transitions in neural dynamics and modes during perceptual decision-making in rats, linking these transitions to decision commitment.

An approach for long-term, multi-probe Neuropixels recordings in unrestrained rats

This paper demonstrates a method for long-term, multi-probe Neuropixels recordings in freely moving rats over multiple months, showing high yield and probe reusability.

Feedback Determines the Structure of Correlated Variability in Primary Visual Cortex

The paper shows that task-related feedback changes spike-count correlations in V1 neurons, indicating feedback dynamics shape correlated variability rather than shared afferents.
