Anatomical, stimulation, and lesion data have suggested a homology between the rat frontal
orienting fields (FOF) (centered at +2 AP, ±1.3 ML mm from Bregma) and primate frontal …

Gradual accumulation of evidence is thought to be fundamental for decision-making, and its
neural correlates have been found in several brain regions 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 . Here we …

10.7554/eLife.05457.001 Numerous brain regions have been shown to have neural correlates
of gradually accumulating evidence for decision-making, but the causal roles of these …

Neural activity in frontal cortical areas has been causally linked to short-term memory (STM),
but whether this activity is necessary for forming, maintaining, or reading out STM remains …

Early career researchers (ECRs) are important stakeholders leading efforts to catalyze systemic
change in research culture and practice. Here, we summarize the outputs from a virtual …

A surprising finding of recent studies in mouse is the dominance of widespread movement-related
activity throughout the brain, including in early sensory areas. In awake subjects, …

10.7554/eLife.11308.001 Decision-making behavior is often characterized by substantial
variability, but its source remains unclear. We developed a visual accumulation of evidence …

Motor and premotor cortices are crucial for the control of movements. However, we still
know little about how these areas contribute to higher-order motor control, such as deciding …

To study rapid sensorimotor remapping, we developed a method to train rats in a behavior
in which subjects are cued, on each trial, to apply a sensorimotor association to orient either …

Rodent decision-making research aims to uncover the neural circuitry underlying the ability
to evaluate alternatives and select appropriate actions. Designing behavioral paradigms that …
