Abstract
Cognitive flexibility allows us to adapt our behavior to keep up with a changing environment. In this issue of Neuron, Mugan and colleagues1 manipulate the complexity of an environment to demonstrate how the medial prefrontal cortex controls a cognitive flexibility circuit featuring the dorsolateral striatum and hippocampus.
