This study examines age-related changes in neural and behavioural variability during a decision-making task in mice, finding increased neural variability and reduced variability quenching in specific brain regions.

Mice infer stimulus-side priors from recent choices; prior signals are decodable pre-stimulus in 24.0% to 30.2% of 242 brain regions, including early visual and motor areas.

The paper presents a brain-wide neural activity map from 621,733 neurons across 139 mice performing a decision-making task, showing how neural activity encodes task variables across brain regions.

The paper shows that mice with ASD-related mutations exhibit similar computational and neural anomalies in prior updating during decision-making.

This study evaluates the reproducibility of electrophysiological measurements across ten labs using standardized protocols and finds that variability in electrode targeting and statistical methods affects reproducibility.

The paper describes a modular data architecture for a neuroscience collaboration, enabling data contribution, access, and analysis across multiple labs.

The paper analyzes the population dynamics of a neural circuit to infer how it represents low-dimensional variables across different behavioral states.
