Decision Activity in Parietal Cortex - Leader or Follower?

Sashank Pisupati et al. Trends Cogn Sci. 2016 Nov.

Abstract

Katz and colleagues demonstrate that inactivating the primate lateral intraparietal area (LIP) spares visual motion decisions, even though these same decisions strongly modulate LIP neurons. This work is the latest addition to an intense effort spanning sensory modalities, animals, and techniques to understand which structures comprise the circuits responsible for interpreting sensory signals to make decisions.
