(1/7)sciencedirect.com/science/ar… First paper of the PhD out today! What’s it about? Most of the places we traverse and actions we take do not directly result in reward (as a PhD student, I understand this problem all too well…).
“Animals don’t translate to humans.” What if it’s our assays, not the animals, that are the problem? Excited to finally share Olio’s preclinical high-throughput in vivo platform that actually predicts human outcomes.
(6/7) By combining these credit-assignment strategies, the brain is able to integrate new information about the changing world, in order to generate reward predictions that adaptively guide behavior.
(7/7) Huge thanks to all co-authors and mentors, especially Josh Berke and @nathanieldaw for all the time given to training and discussion, and a special shoutout to my original mentor in the Berke Lab, @mohebial for being the best scientific role model I could ask for in a lab.
