Literature highlight of the week: Lam et al. used a decision task with rule reversals in tree shrews and found that relevant thalamic neurons drive prefrontal reconfiguration following a reversal by attributing errors to an environmental change nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our new study is out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We (Marie Carlén) mapped the mouse PFC using single-unit activity! We recorded ~23,000 neurons across cortical/subcortical regions and profiled spont. firing patterns to reveal what separates the PFC from other brain regions. 1/n

Our paper published in Nature Communications! We used evidence accumulation model to explain why people make decisions slower after rule switch. There is a reduction in sensory weight, perhaps reflecting the difficulty of switching sensory readout. Luo Tianlin nature.com/articles/s4146…
