In the windmills of your mind: Circles and spirals construct a persistent encoding of value

In this issue of Neuron, Hattori and Komiyama, 2021 unravel persistent neural encoding of value in mouse retrosplenial cortex, using a demixed dimensionality reduction algorithm. The cylindrical structure they uncover supports untangled encoding of value in both brains and RNNs.
