🎇 Excited to finally share JL Romero Sosa’s publication! Results are from single-cell imaging in different subregions of rat frontal cortex during ✨de novo learning. Spoiler: everything is not everywhere all at once www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Neural coding of choice and outcome are modulated by uncertainty in orbitofrontal but not secondary motor cortex - Nature Communications

Neural mechanisms underlying flexible learning and decision-making are not fully understood. Using single-cell calcium imaging, authors here found that neurons in orbitofrontal and secondary motor cortex exhibit complementary roles in reward learning, with neurons in the former exerting a sustained role in conditions of uncertainty.

Awesome new preprint from @jasonleng.bsky.social!

Deadlines in decision making often truncate too-slow responses. Failing to account for these omissions can (severely) bias your DDM parameter estimates.

They offer a great solution to correct for this issue.

So excited to share our new preprint! We used behavior & pupillometry to examine how reinterpreting negative emotions shapes memory for emotionally charged events.

Huge thanks to my spectacular advisor, Dave, for all his help and support with my first project of grad school!

Check it out 👇

David Clewett @davidclewett.bsky.social · May 29

Emotions create vivid and lasting memories - but how are those memories organized? We find that negative emotions fragment experience, disrupting the flow of memory. Reframing negative feelings also carves up experiences, but in a way that supports integration and wellbeing.
