MindTalks: From vision to navigation and back (Prof. Dr. Matteo Carandini)
Abstract Vision provides crucial guidance to navigation, and this guidance is a key function of the visual system. The communication between visual system and navigation system, however, appears to operate also in the opposite direction, with navigation strongly influencing vision. We recorded from populations of neurons in mice that navigate virtual environments and found modulation by [...]
MindTalks: A reservoir of decision strategies in the mouse frontal cortex (Dr. Zach Mainen)
Abstract A decision is an exclusive commitment to one of several alternative actions. A decision strategy is an algorithm for how to make a decision: what factors to consider and how to process them. For example, some decision strategies are based on direct responses to observable stimuli (“model-free”), while others require inferences about hidden […]
