This is an incredibly cool study!
It links neural signaling of nutritive state to policy complexity. When nutrient-deprived, animals reduce the state-dependence of their policy (lower policy complexiy) and increase locomotor arousal (higher action stochasticity).

Policy complexity is expensive. How does the brain regulate its investment of cognitive capacity? Our newest paper is on BioRxiv! We examine hypothalamic orexin (and MCH!) -producing neurons for their role in regulating the complexity decision policies. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Neurometabolic signaling and control of policy complexity
Cognition and adaptive behavior emerge from neural information processing. This must operate within finite metabolic constraints, since neural information processing is metabolically expensive. While ...
