Abstract Across species, cooperative behaviour is often organized by distinct social roles such as leaders and followers1, yet the neural mechanisms that support these emergent role dynamics remain unclear. Here we introduce a mouse paradigm that captures leader–follower dynamics during cooperation. In this paradigm, stable social roles emerge through reciprocal interaction and predict learning speed.
Results The first step to show blindsight-like behavior by mice is to show that mice act blind after damage to V1, as humans do.20 Prior work with rodents did not observe substantial blindness after removal of V1, as these rodents could still detect high-contrast visual stimuli.63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,76,77 This raises the question of whether mice do not need V1 for normal vision or whether, like primates, they lose conscious vision after removal of V1 and use blindsight to maintain...
Abstract Retaining information in working memory is a demanding process that relies on cognitive control to protect memoranda-specific persistent activity from interference1,2. However, how cognitive control regulates working memory storage is unclear. Here we show that interactions of frontal control and hippocampal persistent activity are coordinated by theta–gamma phase–amplitude coupling (TG-PAC).
