This study uses two-photon microscopy to show that NE and ACh transients have distinct spatiotemporal dynamics during decision-making in mice, with NE promoting exploration.

This study shows mice can anticipate environmental changes during reward learning, with the medial frontal cortex playing a key role in estimating future change points.

This study shows that pupil size in mice playing a competitive game correlates with decision variables like choice, outcome, and value updating, but not action selection.
