title: Taking strategies to task.
abstract: In this issue of Neuron, Uka and DeAngelis report a neural signature of the strategy that monkeys' brains developed to solve a visual discrimination task by training them on one version of the task and testing them on another. Extensive training on one version caused decision networks in the animals' brains to ignore certain classes of neurons whose signals would have been useful on the modified version of the task used to test them.
