Perceptual decision making is the process by which animals detect, discriminate, and
categorize information from the senses. Over the past two decades, understanding how …

This joint article reflects the authors' personal views regarding noteworthy advances in the
neuroscience of consciousness in the last 10 years, and suggests what we feel may be …

During decision making, neurons in multiple brain regions exhibit responses that are
correlated with decisions,,,,,. However, it remains uncertain whether or not various forms of …

The prefrontal cortex is activated during working memory, as evidenced by fMRI results in
human studies and neurophysiological recordings in animal models. Persistent activity …

Numerous brain regions have been shown to have neural correlates of gradually
accumulating evidence for decision-making, but the causal roles of these regions in …

Chronic visual neglect prevents brain-damaged patients from returning to an independent
and active life. Detecting predictors of persistent neglect as early as possible after the stroke …

Highlights•Gradual accumulation of evidence, core to decision-making, can be studied in
rodents.•Pulse-based sensory evidence stimuli facilitate behavioral and neural …

How consciousness (experience) arises from and relates to material brain processes (the
“mind-body problem”) has been pondered by thinkers for centuries, and is regarded as …

Brain perturbation studies allow detailed causal inferences of behavioral and neural
processes. Because the combination of brain perturbation methods and neural …

New technologies are key to understanding the dynamic activity of neural circuits and
