    Sequence action representations contextualize during early skill learning

    Debadatta Dash, Fumiaki Iwane ... Leonardo G Cohen
    When learning a new skill, neural representations of individual actions rapidly incorporate contextual information pertaining to the encompassing skill sequence-primarily during rest breaks interleaved with practice.

    Policy shaping based on the learned preferences of others accounts for risky decision-making under social observation

    HeeYoung Seon, Dongil Chung
    Simulating others' preferences underlies riskier choices when being observed, driven by beliefs about observers' risk attitudes and supported by TPJ–dmPFC connectivity.

    The spatial frequency representation predicts category coding in the inferior temporal cortex

    Ramin Toosi, Behnam Karami ... Mohammad-Reza A Dehaqani
    Spatial frequency is explicitly and dynamically represented in the primate inferior temporal cortex, revealing distinct neural populations that differentially support object recognition, specially emphasizing high-frequency contributions to face processing.
