Excited to share our new paper on reward identity and goal-directed decisions in @plosbiology.org. plos.io/3R9rIxZ Normally, I would write a quick thread 🧵on the results but @joeycharbonneau.bsky.social & @erinlrich.bsky.social already wrote amazing primer! Read it here: bit.ly/4vWIn6W

Identity-specific reward expectations in orbitofrontal cortex guide goal-directed choices

How reward identity representations influence choice remains unclear in neuroeconomic decision-making models. This fMRI study shows that identity-specific expectations in the human lateral orbitofront...

I'm excited to share that the VOR for my latest manuscript with Lindsay Rondot, Zeb Kurth-Nelson, @mgarvert.bsky.social , Ray Dolan, @behrenstimb.bsky.social and Erie Boorman, is out in @elife.bsky.social ! Check it out here: elifesciences.org/articles/101... A short thread below 🧵 (1/5):

Neural mechanisms of credit assignment for delayed outcomes during contingent learning

Orbitofrontal cortex and hippocampus reinstate representations of causal choices to associate with delayed outcomes, and the frontal pole supports this credit assignment process by maintaining pending...
