What happens when choices can lead to diff outcomes, depending on context? See our work on how state representations in vmPFC mediate relevant AND irrelevant expected values signals, out in @NatureComms.w/ @mona_garvert @haukeren & @nico_schuck [1/n]

4/4 Lastly, we discuss the potential contribution of late layers in deep RL models to understanding emergent reps in OFC/vmPFC, which go beyond value, and raise outstanding questions for future research.

3/4 We discuss our previous work where we showed states are decodable from vmPFC, alongside values, and modulate irrelevant values' influence on behavior. With other studies, this supports complex rep in vmPFC/OFC to allow flexible goal-directed behavior.

2/4 Goal-directed behavior requires more than ‘just’ representing values. We discuss how OFC/vmPFC does exactly that: integrate current & past info to map choice-options onto representational spaces which optimize behavior.

Excited to share our review, w. @ShanyGrossman (shared 1st!) and @nico_schuck where we discuss representational spaces in OFC/vmPFC and in deep RL models, featuring values, states and much more! Fresh from the (virtual) print now in @TrendsNeuro , 1/4.
