Hierarchy of prediction errors shapes the learning of context-dependent sensory representations

The paper develops a computational model to explain how context shapes sensory processing by analyzing prediction errors in mice during tactile discrimination learning.

Dendritic modulation enables multitask representation learning in hierarchical sensory processing pathways

This paper shows dendritic modulation enables multitask representation learning in hierarchical sensory processing by allowing neurons to adaptively extract features across different contexts.

Unsigned temporal difference errors in cortical L5 dendrites during learning

The paper shows that dendritic responses in L5 pyramidal neurons during learning correspond to unsigned temporal difference error components, with salience signals aiding task learning.
