Topic: choice-driven strategies

Animals continuously evaluate past and current sensory and contextual information to make appropriate decisions during behaviour. How animals employ specific behavioural strategies while learning a task and how the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) contributes to such strategy-based learning remains understudied. To investigate this, we trained mice on a tactile reversal learning task and implemented a trial-resolution Bayesian evidence accumulation model to measure the probability of the strategies used. We analysed multiple exploratory strategies across key task-learning phases and subsequently aft
