A new study identifies the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) as a crucial brain region for inference-making, allowing animals to interpret hidden states in changing environments. Researchers trained rats to wait for water rewards that varied in predictable but concealed patterns, showing they adjusted their behavior based on inferred environmental richness.
