The curse of dimensionality plagues models reinforcement learning and decision-making. process abstraction solves this by constructing abstract variables describing features shared different specific instances, reducing enabling generalization in novel situations. Here we characterized neural representations monkeys performing a task where hidden variable described the temporal statistics stimulus-response-outcome mappings. Abstraction was defined operationally using performance decoders...

Psychiatric disorders are often conceptualized as arising from dysfunctional interactions between neural systems mediating cognitive and emotional processes. Mechanistic insights into these have been lacking in part because most work emotions has occurred rodents, without concurrent manipulations of variables. Nonhuman primate (NHP) model provide a powerful platform for investigating operations due to NHPs' strong homology with humans behavioral repertoire brain anatomy. Recent...
