馃 New paper by Pedamonti et al. (2025, Nature Comm.) shows that the #hippocampus supports multi-task #ReinforcementLearning under partial observability. Mice flexibly inferred hidden task states 馃悂, and only models with recurrent memory reproduced behavior, linking #hippocampal dynamics to #POMDP (Partially Observable Multi-Task Reinforcement Learning) inference.
