kari hoffman<p>I find this article by Ferro just out in nature communication <a href="https://rdcu.be/dOzT2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">rdcu.be/dOzT2</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> is an interesting intersection between value-based decision-making, embodied cognition/active vision, and memory <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/reactivation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reactivation</span></a> or <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/reinstatement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reinstatement</span></a>. Looking is doing some heavy lifting. And lookie there, I didn't even mention the <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/orbitofrontalcortex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>orbitofrontalcortex</span></a> recordings they did! </p><p>It caught my eye (sorry) b/c some of the scanpath analysis our lab's done in the past suggests that prior to looking at a remembered, rewarded visual target, there's an uptick in <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/hippocampal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hippocampal</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/ripples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ripples</span></a> (Leonard et al., Current Biol 2017), which are thought to signal the underlying reactivation of task-relevant activity patterns. And of course, there's work by a number of groups on memory guidance to rewarding/goal targets, that rely on hippocampal function. Ours based on an MTL amnesic: Yoo, et al., (2020). Long-term memory and hippocampal function support predictive gaze control during goal-directed search.

C.,et al., (2017).

(forgive that I'm missing many others and pls add below!)</p><p>TL;DR The foraging decision-making folks and the memory-guided vision folks need to be increasingly up in each other's business. </p><p>Here's that Ferro link:<br><a href="https://rdcu.be/dOzT2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">rdcu.be/dOzT2</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/cogneurophys" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>cogneurophys</span></a></span></p>
