  "summary": "Mice are widely used to study the neural basis of perceptual decision-making, often with the ultimate goal of extrapolating insights to humans. Yet, whether humans and mice rely on similar computational strategies remains rarely tested, partly because the two species acquire knowledge differently. Animals learn from experience, while humans usually receive verbal task instructions. Here, we…",
