Super excited to have my first, first authored paper in preprint!

Second, a few months ago we found that you can actually use the precise coordinates of a touchscreen response as a clue to the latent cognitive state of the animal, and of course once again female mice are more systematic. Provisionally accepted for publication so more soon

Firsties, we developed a cool operant set shift task in the touchscreens for meeces, they can do many shifts in a single session
The kicker is female mice do better because they figure out how to follow two rules at once

Hi everyone, the lab has been enabling my professional interest in doing weird shit with touchscreens (as opposed to my personal interest)
Blessed are the mice, for they cannot doomscroll
but here's some recent work you may enjoy if you want to see what mice do with their touchscreens instead

Thrilled that our paper on the role of the rat prelimbic cortex (PLC) in decision making is finally out! Three main findings are described in this thread
