Animals rely on sensory inputs to navigate complex, dynamic environments. Understanding how the brain integrates these inputs to guide behavior remains a central question in neuroscience. Training AI and animals on the same task offers a unique opportunity to uncover both similarities and critical differences in the strategies used by biological and artificial systems. By pinpointing what the brain accomplishes that modern AI lacks, we can drive advancements in machine learning, pushing AI to more robust, generalizable solutions. In this study, we train mice and reinforcement learning agents o
