Multicentric tracking of multiple agents by anterior cingulate cortex during pursuit and evasion
Pursuit or evasion requires world-centric and agent-centric representation to coordinate navigation and motor control. The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, which communicates bi-directionally with both the hippocampal complex and premotor areas serve a mapping role in this process.

Learning of distant state predictions by the orbitofrontal cortex in humans
In order to make optimal choices, it is adaptive for the brain to build a model of the world to enable predictions about likely later events. Here, the authors show that activity across learning in the orbitofrontal cortex comes to represent expected states, up to 30 s in the future.

Decoding individual differences in STEM learning from functional MRI data
People differ in their current levels of understanding of many complex concepts. Here, the authors show using fMRI that brain activity during a task that requires concept knowledge can be used to compute a ‘neural score’ of the participant’s understanding.

Dissociable cognitive strategies for sensorimotor learning
Motor learning is thought to be mostly procedural, but recent work has suggested that there is a strong cognitive component to it. Here, the authors show that humans use dissociable cognitive strategies, either caching successful responses or using a rule-based strategy, to solve a visuomotor learning task.

Dissociating frontoparietal brain networks with neuroadaptive Bayesian optimization
The unique contributions of different frontoparietal networks (FPNs) in cognition remains unclear. Here, authors use neuroadaptive Bayesian optimization to identify cognitive tasks that segregate dorsal and ventral FPNs and reveal complex many-to-many mappings between cognitive tasks and FPNs.

Mice in social conflict show rule-observance behavior enhancing long-term benefit
Resolving conflict in an orderly way is beneficial, but it is unclear whether non-human animals make and observe such rules. Here, authors show that mice spontaneously develop and observe such rules, thereby increasing their total, individual reward as well as the reward equity with other mice.
