Topic: Hierarchical Bayesian framework

Humans efficiently reason about space to navigate and forage in new environments, which may, at least in part, depend on an ability to generalize across tasks and organize observations into patterns that can be re-used. Generalization and transfer learning in spatial domains is evident in mirror-invariant neural scene representations, and in the reuse of reference frames and representations across similar environments. Shared reference frames appear in other mammals as well, as, for example, in rodents reusing grid-cell maps for different but perceptually similar environments. However, the fie

Aims: Adolescence is a critical period characterized by increased sensation-seeking, risk-taking, and sensitivity to rewards, alongside neural and behavioral changes. Research suggests that alterations in functional connectivity within and between cortical and subcortical areas optimize interregional communication, impacting reward processing and decision-making. Hormonal changes, notably gonadal hormones, significantly influence adolescent behavior and brain development. This study aims to elucidate adolescent behavior through a reward learning paradigm while investigating underlying neuronal
