Grid-like entorhinal representation of an abstract value space during prospective decision making
A. Nitsch, M. M. Garvert, et al.
Participants navigated a two-dimensional value space while fMRI showed the entorhinal cortex forming a grid-like map aligned to the axis most informative for choices, and a network including ventromedial prefrontal cortex tracked prospective value differences—suggesting cognitive maps generate lower-dimensional value signals to guide decisions. This research was conducted by Alexander Nitsch, Mona M. Garvert, Jacob L. S. Bellmund, Nicolas W. Schuck, and Christian F. Doeller.
