[HTML][HTML] Could a neuroscientist understand a microprocessor?
There is a popular belief in neuroscience that we are primarily data limited, and that
producing large, multimodal, and complex datasets will, with the help of advanced data …

Distinct effects of prefrontal and parietal cortex inactivations on an accumulation of evidence task in the rat
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 …

How can single sensory neurons predict behavior?
Single sensory neurons can be surprisingly predictive of behavior in discrimination tasks.
We propose this is possible because sensory information extracted from neural populations …

Evidence for a causal contribution of macaque vestibular, but not intraparietal, cortex to heading perception
Multisensory convergence of visual and vestibular signals has been observed within a
network of cortical areas involved in representing heading. Vestibular-dominant heading …

Functional characterization of the fronto-parietal reaching and gras** network: reversible deactivation of M1 and areas 2, 5, and 7b in awake behaving monkeys
In the present investigation, we examined the role of different cortical fields in the fronto-
parietal reaching and gras** network in awake, behaving macaque monkeys. This …

A multi-area stochastic model for a covert visual search task
Decisions typically comprise several elements. For example, attention must be directed
towards specific objects, their identities recognized, and a choice made among alternatives …

On the evolution of neural decisions from uncertain visual input to uncertain actions
Everyday behaviors are governed by decisions, about what we see and which actions to
take. Here we present a model of the evolution of decisions from visual perception to …
