New ms! During choice behavior, OFC neurons encode decision input and output, suggesting the presence of a neural decision circuit within this area. Computational models support the hypothesis, but little is known about actual – or at least functional – connectivity in OFC.

Thrilled to share that our work on neural circuits and economic decision-making is now published in @cp-neuron.bsky.social . Huge thanks to @camillopadoasch.bsky.social and @xjwanglab for this journey. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A neural circuit framework for economic choice: From building blocks of valuation to compositionality in multitasking
Value-guided decisions are a cornerstone of cognition, yet the underlying circuit-level mechanisms remain elusive. We used reinforcement learning to t…

New ms on trinary choices! Somewhat surprisingly, our monkeys’ choices satisfied IIA (independence of irrelevant alternatives). In OFC, decision variables were represented in the same way under trinary and under binary choices. This property implies IIA. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Neuronal Activity in Orbitofrontal Cortex during Trinary Choices under Risk
Economic choice entails computing and comparing the subjective values of different goods. Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is thought to contribute to both operations. However, previous work focused almost ...

New ms! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... I developed a normative coding theory for feedback-modulated canonical networks, providing a unified view of (1) efficient & predictive coding, (2) computational & algorithmic principles, (3) unimodal & multimodal sensory processing.

Convergence of efficient and predictive coding in multimodal sensory processing
The existence of pathways connecting different sensory modalities in the brain challenges the traditional view of sensory systems as operating independently. However, the reasons and mechanisms underl...

New collaborative ms! We built & trained a neural network that is biophysically realistic, performs multiple economic choice tasks, and provides insights into orbitofrontal cortex. (We = Aldo Battista 😉) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A Neural Circuit Framework for Economic Choice: From Building Blocks of Valuation to Compositionality in Multitasking
Value-guided decisions are at the core of reinforcement learning and neuroeconomics, yet the basic computations they require remain poorly understood at the mechanistic level. For instance, how does t...

New ms! We’ve long hypothesized that different groups of neurons in OFC are the building blocks of a decision circuit. We now show that this circuit has a laminar architecture. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
