New preprint!
We found intriguing inter-animal variability in decision-making behavior in the International Brain Laboratory experiment, and uncovered its neural correlates. Work by Chang Yin and me, with big thanks to @intlbrainlab.bsky.social for the help.

Cortical neural landscape captures mouse‑to‑mouse variability in anticipatory vs. inattentive decision making
Understanding individual variability in behavior is crucial for both basic and clinical neuroscience, yet it remains challenging to study in traditional single laboratory experiments with small sample...
