Triple dissociation of attention and decision computations across prefrontal cortex
LT Hunt, WMN Malalasekera, AO de Berker… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Naturalistic decision-making typically involves sequential deployment of attention to choice
alternatives to gather information before a decision is made. Attention filters how information …

Value dynamics affect choice preparation during decision-making
During decision-making, neurons in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) sequentially represent the
value of each option in turn, but it is unclear how these dynamics are translated into a choice …

Prefrontal cortex exhibits multidimensional dynamic encoding during decision-making
Recent work has suggested that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a key role in context-
dependent perceptual decision-making. In this study, we addressed that role using a new …

Prefrontal mechanisms combining rewards and beliefs in human decision-making
M Rouault, J Drugowitsch, E Koechlin - Nature Communications, 2019 - nature.com

Decoding subjective decisions from orbitofrontal cortex
When making a subjective choice, the brain must compute a value for each option and
compare those values to make a decision. The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is critically involved …

Autocorrelation structure at rest predicts value correlates of single neurons during reward-guided choice
Correlates of value are routinely observed in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during reward-
guided decision making. In previous work (Hunt et al., 2015), we argued that PFC correlates …

A category-free neural population supports evolving demands during decision-making
The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) receives diverse inputs and is involved in a dizzying
array of behaviors. These many behaviors could rely on distinct categories of neurons …

Dynamics of neural population responses in prefrontal cortex indicate changes of mind on single trials
Decision making is a complex process in which different sources of information are
combined into a decision variable (DV) that guides action [1, 2]. Neurophysiological studies …
