This study shows that frontal cortex neurons in monkeys exhibit a binary one-shot switch between explore and exploit behaviors during a task with a known structure, rather than continuous changes linked to prediction errors.

The paper introduces entropy-based metrics to predict choice behavior in mice and monkeys, explaining 50% and 41% of matching variance, and develops a more accurate model based on these metrics.

The paper shows that the same neural circuit in the orbitofrontal cortex supports economic choices under simultaneous or sequential offers.

This study investigates how perceived control over stressors affects neural responses in humans, finding that controllability reduces vmPFC deactivation and insula activation during stress.
