The paper investigates how neurons with different activity timescales contribute to task-relevant information processing in working memory tasks, finding that slow neurons maintain contextual information while fast neurons respond to immediate stimuli.

The paper analyzes neuronal ensemble activity in rats during a decision-making task, identifying distinct spatiotemporal dynamics related to choice and outcome.

The paper develops a neural network model of the entorhinal-hippocampal circuit to study how spatial working memory is encoded, maintained, and recalled through cholinergic modulation and theta oscillations.

The paper shows that individual differences in decision making under uncertainty are linked to variability in neural dynamics in the medial frontal cortex of rats.
