People make numerous decisions every day including perceptual decisions such as walking
through a crowd, decisions over primary rewards such as what to eat, and social decisions …

Neurons in putative decision-making structures can reflect both sensory and decision
signals, making their causal role in decisions unclear. Here, we tested whether rat posterior …

Perceptual decision making is a complex process that requires multiple computations,
including the accumulation of sensory evidence and an ongoing evaluation of the …

Once considered the province of philosophy and the behavioral sciences, the process of
making decisions has received increasing scrutiny from neurobiologists. Recent research …

Perceptual decision making requires a complex set of computations to implement, evaluate,
and adjust the conversion of sensory input into a categorical judgment. Little is known about …

The study of decision making poses new methodological challenges for systems
neuroscience. Whereas our traditional approach linked neural activity to external variables …

Perceptual decisions arise from the activity of neurons distributed across brain circuits. But,
decoding the mechanisms behind this cognitive operation across brain circuits has long …

Tracing the neural circuitry of decision formation is a critical step in the understanding of
higher cognitive function. To make a decision, the primate brain coordinates dynamic …

A key question within systems neuroscience is how the brain translates physical stimulation
into a behavioral response: perceptual decision making. To answer this question, it is …

A decision is a commitment to a proposition among multiple options. Often this commitment
leads to a particular course of action. It might be said that the life of an organism consists of a …
