Assistive algorithms are widely used in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), but their effects on neural representations remain unclear. Here, the authors show that adaptive BCIs lead the brain to learn ...

Human decision-makers differ in how they value and trade off reward, risk, and information when evaluating future gains and losses, and these preferences are central to well-being. However, how multi-...

This paper offers a toy framework for considering curiosity as an ecosystem. First, it suggests that a single agent's inquiry policy (how, when, and why an agent asks a question) depends on how the ag...

This review integrates computational approaches to provide a unified view on how data analysis methods, biophysical mechanistic models and machine learning approaches can help to uncover the origins a...

Astrocytes influence synaptic plasticity and neuronal function through astrocytic calcium dynamics (ACD). However, astrocytes’ contribution to cognitive operations like reinforcement learning (RL) rem...

Why do we want to know the future? Humans and many animals pay for information to predict uncertain rewards, even when they cannot control them. The reason for this conserved yet seemingly paradoxical...

Machine unlearning aims to remove targeted knowledge from a trained model without the cost of retraining from scratch. In class unlearning, however, reducing accuracy on forget classes does not necess...

Novelty can directly impact valuation of future outcomes, affecting how we choose among rewards such as food or money. This is the case even when novelty is objectively valueless. Here, Ogasawara et a...

How the mouse frontal cortex and striatum interact to implement integrator dynamics controlling movement timing is explored.

Astrocytes influence synaptic plasticity and neuronal function through astrocytic calcium dynamics (ACD). However, astrocytes contribution to cognitive operations like reinforcement learning (RL) rema...

Perceptually novel objects have profound impacts on our daily decisions. People often pay to try novel meals over familiar ones, or to see novel visual scenes at art exhibits and travel destinations. ...

A pyramidal cell type and the 5-HT2A receptor in the medial frontal cortex have essential roles in psilocybin’s long-term drug action.
