Study Identifies Prefrontal Cortex Neurons That Encode Contingency Degradation via Connections to Ventral Tegmental Area

Researchers identified a subset of medial prefrontal cortex neurons that specifically encode contingency degradation in a causal manner. The study combined a meta-reward prediction error model with longitudinal two-photon calcium imaging and single-cell holographic optogenetics t…
