This study shows that prior cocaine use impairs the orbitofrontal cortex's ability to identify hidden states during a task, leading to reduced generalization and increased behavioral variability.

This study investigates how dopamine and acetylcholine dynamics change during learning in rats, finding that acetylcholine signals evolve sequentially and complement dopamine in determining learning content and rate.

This study investigates how hippocampal output affects schema formation in orbitofrontal cortex, finding that inactivation during learning accelerates schema correlates while post-learning inactivation has no effect, supporting a parallel model of cognitive map formation.

This study identifies prospective coding in rat orbitofrontal cortex for predicting future outcomes during an odor sequence task.
