Noel J, Zhang R, Pitkow X, Angelaki D
bioRxiv
. 2024 Dec;
PMID: 39651243
Real world choices often involve balancing decisions that are optimized for the short-vs. long-term. Here, we reason that apparently sub-optimal single trial decisions in macaques may in fact reflect long-term,...

. 2024 Nov;
PMID: 39575123
We develop a version of stochastic control that accounts for computational costs of inference. Past studies identified efficient coding without control, or efficient control that neglects the cost of synthesizing...

Sci Adv
. 2024 Jul;
10(29):eadk1256.
PMID: 39028809
The brain may have evolved a modular architecture for daily tasks, with circuits featuring functionally specialized modules that match the task structure. We hypothesize that this architecture enables better learning...

Xiao J, Adkinson J, Myers J, Allawala A, Mathura R, Pirtle V, et al.
Nat Commun
. 2024 Jul;
15(1):5528.
PMID: 39009561
The rewards that we get from our choices and actions can have a major influence on our future behavior. Understanding how reward biasing of behavior is implemented in the brain...

Xiao J, Adkinson J, Allawala A, Banks G, Bartoli E, Fan X, et al.
bioRxiv
. 2024 Jun;
PMID: 38895233
In daily life, we must recognize others' emotions so we can respond appropriately. This ability may rely, at least in part, on neural responses similar to those associated with our...

Shahidi N, Franch M, Parajuli A, Schrater P, Wright A, Pitkow X, et al.
Nat Neurosci
. 2024 Mar;
27(4):772-781.
PMID: 38443701
Until now, it has been difficult to examine the neural bases of foraging in naturalistic environments because previous approaches have relied on restrained animals performing trial-based foraging tasks. Here we...

Kunin A, Guo J, Bassler K, Pitkow X, Josic K
J Neurosci
. 2023 Aug;
43(37):6384-6400.
PMID: 37591738
The structure of neural circuitry plays a crucial role in brain function. Previous studies of brain organization generally had to trade off between coarse descriptions at a large scale and...

Lakshminarasimhan K, Avila E, Pitkow X, Angelaki D
Nat Commun
. 2023 Apr;
14(1):1832.
PMID: 37005470
Success in many real-world tasks depends on our ability to dynamically track hidden states of the world. We hypothesized that neural populations estimate these states by processing sensory history through...

. 2023 Mar;
PMID: 36993435
The complexity of neural circuits makes it challenging to decipher the brain's algorithms of intelligence. Recent breakthroughs in deep learning have produced models that accurately simulate brain activity, enhancing our...
