[HTML][HTML] The population doctrine in cognitive neuroscience

RB Ebitz, BY Hayden - Neuron, 2021 - cell.com
A major shift is happening within neurophysiology: a population doctrine is drawing level
with the single-neuron doctrine that has long dominated the field. Population-level ideas …

[HTML][HTML] Planning in the brain

MG Mattar, M Lengyel - Neuron, 2022 - cell.com
Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled machines to plan in tasks
previously thought to be uniquely human. Meanwhile, the planning algorithms implemented …

Value dynamics affect choice preparation during decision-making

ZZ Balewski, TW Elston, EB Knudsen, JD Wallis - Nature neuroscience, 2023 - nature.com
During decision-making, neurons in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) sequentially represent the
value of each option in turn, but it is unclear how these dynamics are translated into a choice …

Adaptive learning under expected and unexpected uncertainty

A Soltani, A Izquierdo - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2019 - nature.com
The outcome of a decision is often uncertain, and outcomes can vary over repeated
decisions. Whether decision outcomes should substantially affect behaviour and learning …

Formalizing planning and information search in naturalistic decision-making

LT Hunt, ND Daw, P Kaanders, MA MacIver… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com

planning and sampling of decision-relevant information. Our understanding of such decision …

The whole prefrontal cortex is premotor cortex

JM Fine, BY Hayden - Philosophical Transactions of the …, 2022 - royalsocietypublishing.org
We propose that the entirety of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) can be seen as fundamentally
premotor in nature. By this, we mean that the PFC consists of an action abstraction hierarchy …

[HTML][HTML] Generative replay underlies compositional inference in the hippocampal-prefrontal circuit

P Schwartenbeck, A Baram, Y Liu, S Mark, T Muller… - Cell, 2023 - cell.com
Human reasoning depends on reusing pieces of information by putting them together in new
ways. However, very little is known about how compositional computation is implemented in …

The case against economic values in the orbitofrontal cortex (or anywhere else in the brain).

BY Hayden, Y Niv - Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021 - psycnet.apa.org
Much of traditional neuroeconomics proceeds from the hypothesis that value is reified in the
brain, that is, that there are neurons or brain regions whose responses serve the discrete …
