Generalized prefrontal task-progress sequences efficiently encode task structure

The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) occupies a central role in executive function including decision-making, rule learning and cognitive flexibility. Here, we investigated how mPFC populations represent the animal's progression along sequential task stages. Freely moving mice performed an odour-guided two-choice task requiring sensory sampling, action selection, navigation, and reward collection.…
