The centrality of population-level factors to network computation is demonstrated by a versatile approach for training spiking networks
Neural activity is often described in terms of population-level factors extracted from the
responses of many neurons. Factors provide a lower-dimensional description with the aim of …

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 …

An integrative framework for sensory, motor, and cognitive functions of the posterior parietal cortex
Throughout the history of modern neuroscience, the parietal cortex has been associated
with a wide array of sensory, motor, and cognitive functions. The use of non-human primates …

Differentiating between integration and non-integration strategies in perceptual decision making
Many tasks used to study decision-making encourage subjects to integrate evidence over
time. Such tasks are useful to understand how the brain operates on multiple samples of …
