We found that mice adjust their history-integration strategies, and identified adaptive reconfiguration of neural circuits in the retrosplenial cortex that match behavioral adaptation.
Great work by Eva and all co-authors!
Our new paper is out in Neuron!

How does the brain decide how much of the past to use when making decisions? In rapidly changing environments, recent experiences matter more; in stable environments, longer histories are useful.
Our new work is out in Science Advances. We show that neural activity in the striatum reflects not just cortical inputs, but also often-underappreciated thalamic inputs.

We found that changes in primary motor cortex are required for the learning of consistent movement patterns, but not important for other aspects of the task learning, like learning to move in response to a cue.
Congratulations to Jake and the team! Jake will start his own lab at Rutgers in 2027!
Our new paper is out in Current Biology!
We learn many things in parallel, and brain circuits are constantly rewiring across brain areas. It is notoriously difficult to understand which rewiring events are responsible for which type of learning.
