An environment can be interpreted in multiple ways, with implications for behaviour and neural representations and for revision in these when circumstances change. Using two-photon calcium imaging in mouse CA1 during navigation under structured reward-location uncertainty, we found correlations between variability in anticipatory behaviour and the organization of place fields with respect to position and reward. Greater spatial anticipation was associated with enhanced reward-centred coding and increased generalisability of reward-aligned representations.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
