Possible options in a decision often organize as a hierarchy of subdecisions. A recent study
concluded that perceptual processes in primates mimic this hierarchical structure and …

The study of decision-making has mainly focused on isolated decisions where choices are
associated with motor actions. However, problem-solving often involves considering a …

In value-based decisions, there are frequently multiple attributes, such as cost, quality, or
quantity, that contribute to the overall goodness of an option. Since one option may not be …

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

A decision is a commitment to a proposition or plan of action based on information and
values associated with the possible outcomes. The process operates in a flexible timeframe …

Perceptual decision making is the act of choosing one option or course of action from a set
of alternatives on the basis of available sensory evidence. Thus, when we make such …

Perceptual decisions occur when sensory inputs are converted to discrete categorical
variables. The neural and computational mechanisms by which rodents, monkeys, and …

How are decision alternatives represented in the primate brain? A recent study by Sugrue et
al. sought to answer this question by integrating behavioral, computational and …

In an unfamiliar situation, animals display variable choice behavior. Based on computational
modeling and empirical data, a new study suggests that the variability in decision-making …

Rodent decision-making research aims to uncover the neural circuitry underlying the ability
to evaluate alternatives and select appropriate actions. Designing behavioral paradigms that …
