After mating, female mice form a sensory memory of the stud male's pheromones that correlates with striking changes in responsiveness of the specific neural ensemble activated by her partner.
The rapid learning of sensory information in cortical circuits is accompanied by a tight coordination of spike timing with the local theta-band population activity in visual cortex.

Classical theoretical approaches to studying the cerebellar cortex are generalized to a broader set of learning tasks, revealing that the optimal value for the sparsity of granule cell activity is task-dependent.

Relative to children and adults, adolescents placed greater weight on negative prediction errors during learning and these age-varying learning idiosyncrasies biased subsequent memory for information associated with valenced outcomes.
During perceptual decision making, maximizing total reward in the long term requires trading reward in the short term for a faster improvement in perceptual representations.
Oscillation component analysis enables cognitive neuroscientists to summarize millisecond-precision high-dimensional neurophysiological recordings into a smaller set of oscillatory components through biophysically inspired generative modeling of neural oscillations.
