Abstract

Behavioral flexibility requires the brain to maintain and rely on cognitive contexts for dictating appropriate responses. Saez et al. (2015) demonstrate that such abstract rule-based representations co-exist in prefrontal cortices and in the amygdala, with the latter being surprisingly crucial for correct performance.
