Published today in Neuron: A new study shows how the brain records value choices. Researchers found that persistency allows value signals to be “coded” across the brain, especially in a critical area known as the retrosplenial cortex. Details: go.ucsd.edu/3nKE8L0

My Preview of Takaki Komiyama lab's recent Neuron article is now live! An interesting look at the population dynamics underlying a persistent value representation: authors.elsevier.com/a/1eWj5_KOmxJM…

I am honored to have been selected for the SFARI Bridge to Independence Award! Looking forward to investigating the reinforcement learning in autism.

Friends, we need your help. An Wu, a postdoc from UCSD is missing post-Cosyne. We're trying to locate her. We're worried she may have been staying at a building that had a bad fire this week. If you have any information about where An was staying or last seen please contact me.

A bit late announcement on twitter: I will move to 🏝️Florida🐊 next month to open my lab as an assistant professor Wertheim UF Scripps My lab will study decision making, RL, number sense, autism using VR tasks for mice. I am recruiting postdoc/student/tech!!! Email or DM me if interested.

Lab website is out! Recruiting lab members. Positions are open until filled. hattori.scripps.ufl.edu/join/
