TL;DR: Using multiple single-unit tetrode recordings in rats, it is found that different activity patterns emerged in mPFC ensembles when animals moved between different environmental contexts, and it is suggested that themPFC forms rich contextual representations that take into account not only sensory cues but also actions and time.

TL;DR: It is reported that rats can integrate the most recent prior information with sensory information, thereby improving behavior on a perceptual decision-making task with outcome-dependent past trial history and suggests that orbitofrontal cortex plays a role in transforming immediate prior and stimulus information into choices using a compact state-space representation.

TL;DR: It is concluded that immersion and flow do not substantially differ in current studies and that more evidence is needed to justify their separation.

TL;DR: Details of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) multiple single-unit activity (MSUA) ensemble dynamics during a higher cognitive task are resolved and suggest that ACC networks may process different subcomponents of higher cognitive tasks by transiting among different attracting states.
