Cocaine disrupts hidden states in the brain

Key Points

• The study aims to investigate how cocaine affects the encoding of abstract states in the orbitofrontal cortex.
• Analyzed brain activity in response to cocaine exposure
• Focused on the orbitofrontal cortex
• Examined changes in neural encoding mechanisms
• Cocaine significantly disrupts neural encoding of abstract states
• Alterations in brain activity patterns were observed in the orbitofrontal cortex
