🕹️ How the brain controls movement under uncertainty
A team at the @primatenzentrum.bsky.social including Bernstein member Alexander Gail shows that our brain deals with different forms of visual uncertainty during movements in distinct ways.

Visual target and task-critical feedback uncertainty impair different stages of reach planning in motor cortex - Nature Communications
Visual uncertainty impairs reach accuracy. The authors show that uncertainty about the target always impairs cortical motor goal encoding in rhesus monkeys, while feedback uncertainty does so only whe...

Rewards motivate us, but they have many dimensions. How does our brain combine different reward dimensions? In this study, now out in @naturecomms.bsky.social, we discovered that amygdala neurons flexibly encode reward probability and magnitude, and its risk. s.gwdg.de/qsx23R 1/5
Dynamic coding and sequential integration of multiple reward attributes by primate amygdala neurons - Nature Communications
The amygdala assigns value to stimuli, yet how its neurons process different value components is unclear. Here the authors show that monkey amygdala neurons respond to different reward attributes and ...

New paper in @naturecomms.bsky.social from @raymundobaez.bsky.social’s group @primatenzentrum.bsky.social shows primate amygdala neurons flexibly encode reward probability & magnitude. Some signal probability alone, others combine both into value and risk signals for decision-making

Context-dependent mapping of sensory input onto motor output is key for goal-directed behavior. Here, the authors show that the brain achieves this mapping with or without reconfiguring parietal senso...
