Dissociation between sensory and goal-directed information processing in prefrontal, visual, and parietal cortices in non-human primates
Alexis Monnet-Aimard, Camila Losada, Guilhem Ibos · FENS Forum 2024
Detecting behaviorally relevant stimuli in a complex environment (such as a camouflaged predator) requires comparing sensory representations (what we are looking at) with memory/cognitive representations (what we are looking for). We test a hypothesis proposed by Freedman and Ibos in 2018 that, in such context, lateral intraparietal area (LIP) integrates and compares visual and working memory related information in order to transform them into decision related signals. We posit that sensory information are extracted within the hierarchy of visual cortical areas, and that prefrontal cortex (PFC
