Topic: decision-related cortex

Flexible decision making is an indispensable ability for humans. Although neurons in decision-related cortex accumulate relevant information preferentially depending on context, how sensory information represented in sensory cortex is conveyed to decision-related cortex remains unclear. To elucidate this question, we investigated the functional connectivity between sensory cortex (area MT) and decision-related cortex (area LIP) by recording simultaneously from both areas using two electrodes while monkeys performed a switching task.Two Japanese macaques were trained to flexibly switch between
