FixGrower is a standardized protocol for training center-port fixation in rodents, reducing training time by 61% and lowering violation rates across species and task difficulty.

This study shows that prefrontal cortex neurons integrate sensory signals and prior expectations to perform Bayesian inference during perceptual decisions.

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

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

The paper investigates how prefrontal cortex neurons represent deliberation during ambiguous visual tasks in macaques, finding that categorical choices precede motor plan representations.

The paper shows human perceptual decisions align with optimal Bayesian inference in dynamic environments, with decision bias depending on context reliability, environmental stability, and time since context change.
