Excited to share our _open access_ paper in Nature Neuroscience investigating the role of the rat frontal and parietal cortices in economic decisions under risk.

We found that silencing the frontal orienting field (FOF) in rat secondary motor cortex increased risk-aversion and we could decode the value of the lottery on each trial from the population activity of the FOF.

p.s. We are looking to hire a postdoc to work in mice models of economic (esp. strategic) decisions. Message me if you will be at SFN and would be interested in working at the amazing @SWC_Neuro
