Topic: economic value

Decisions rely on integrating information across sensory systems and internal states. Single neurons in orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) typically encode relevant variables for making decisions such as sensory uncertainty and economic value. However, it is unclear whether this neural tuning is idiosyncratic to a specific behavioral context. We investigated to what extent encoding in OFC neural dynamics generalize across contexts, or are context-specific, by analyzing chronic Neuropixels recordings over consecutive sessions in which rats performed two related, but distinct, decision-making tasks.
