Learning and interpreting the structure of the environment is an innate feature of biological
systems, and is integral to guiding flexible behaviors for evolutionary viability. The concept of …

While neural plasticity has long been studied as the basis of learning, the growth of large-
scale neural recording techniques provides a unique opportunity to study how learning …

Humans have the remarkable cognitive capacity to rapidly adapt to changing environments.
Central to this capacity is the ability to form high-level, abstract representations that take …

Dopamine is implicated in adaptive behavior through reward prediction error (RPE) signals
that update value estimates. There is also accumulating evidence that animals in structured …

The ability to abstract information to guide decisions during navigation across changing
environments is essential for adaptation and requires the integrity of the hippocampal …

For many years, neuroscientists have investigated the behavioural, computational and
neurobiological mechanisms that support value-based decisions, revealing how humans …

The hippocampus has long been at the center of memory research, and rightfully so.
However, with emerging technological capabilities, we can increasingly appreciate memory …

The hippocampus is critical for memory and spatial navigation. The ability to map novel
environments, as well as more abstract conceptual relationships, is fundamental to the …

Central nervous system neurons manifest a rich diversity of selectivity profiles—whose
precise role is still poorly understood. Following the striking success of artificial networks, a …

The role of the hippocampus in decision-making is beginning to be more understood.
Because of its prospective and inferential functions, we hypothesized that it might be …
