In mice that have undergone Pavlovian reward conditioning, dopaminergic neurons regulate conditioned movements in a temporally restricted manner, consistent with a primary contribution to associative learning rather than online movement generation.
Munn et al. provide evidence that medial entorhinal speed signals scale to reflect the geometry of the environment, whereas entorhinal head direction signals reflect learned information about the geometric symmetry of the environment.
Shuman et al. report that epileptic mice harbor desynchronized hippocampal interneuron activity and unstable spatial representations, revealing that precise intrahippocampal synchronization is critical for spatial coding.
Yoo and colleagues find that while pursuing virtual prey, monkeys predict the prey’s upcoming movements, and neurons in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex tracked prey position, velocity and acceleration to facilitate these predictions.
Gallego, Perich et al. report that latent dynamics in the neural manifold across three cortical areas are stable throughout years of consistent behavior. The authors posit that these dynamics are fundamental building blocks of learned behavior.
