| Abstract | Cognitive flexibility, or the ability to make different decisions to meet ever-changing demands from the environment, is essential for the survival of humans and other animals. To support this key ability, the brain needs to reorganize its activity patterns depending on the current behavioral context, but we still understand little about how this functional reorganization is accomplished. This project will investigate this fundamental question by asking how multiple mouse brain regions act in co |
