Decision-making requires flexibility to rapidly switch one's actions in response to sensory
stimuli depending on information stored in memory. We identified cortical areas and neural …

Animals adaptively integrate sensation, planning, and action to navigate toward goal
locations in ever-changing environments, but the functional organization of cortex …

Neural activity in the mammalian cortex has been studied extensively during decision tasks,
and recent work aims to identify under what conditions cortex is actually necessary for these …

Choice information appears in multi-area brain networks mixed with sensory, motor, and
cognitive variables. In the posterior cortex—traditionally implicated in decision computations …

Sensory information is encoded by populations of cortical neurons. Yet, it is unknown how
this information is used for even simple perceptual choices such as discriminating …

To successfully perform goal-directed navigation, animals must know where they are and
what they are doing—eg, looking for water, bringing food back to the nest, or escaping from …

In any given situation, the environment can be parsed in different ways to yield decision
variables (DVs) defining strategies useful for different tasks. It is generally presumed that the …

The integration of visual stimuli and motor feedback is critical for successful visually guided
navigation. These signals have been shown to shape neuronal activity in the primary visual …

The brain derives cognitive maps from sensory experience that guide memory formation and
behavior. Despite extensive efforts, it still remains unclear how the underlying population …

Primary sensory cortex is thought to process incoming sensory information, while decision
variables important for driving behavior are assumed to arise downstream in the processing …
