Animals typically forage in groups. Social foraging can help animals avoid predation and decrease their uncertainty about the richness of food resources. Despite this, theoretical…
Normative theory of patch foraging decisions
Zachary P Kilpatrick, Jacob D Davidson, Ahmed El Hady
Foraging is a fundamental behavior as animals' search for food is crucial for their survival. Patch leaving is a canonical foraging behavior, but classic theoretical conceptions of…
Axonal Computations
Pepe Alcami, Ahmed El Hady
Axons functionally link the somato-dendritic compartment to synaptic terminals. Structurally and functionally diverse, they accomplish a central role in determining the delays and…
Rats optimally accumulate and discount evidence in a dynamic environment
Alex Piet, Ahmed El Hady, Carlos D Brody
How choices are made within noisy environments is a central question in the neuroscience of decision making. Previous work has characterized temporal accumulation of evidence for d…
