Integrating noisy signals across time as well as sensory modalities, a process named multi-
sensory decision making (MSDM), is an essential strategy for making more accurate and …

Understanding how cortical circuits generate complex behavior requires investigating the
cell types that comprise them. Functional differences across pyramidal neuron (PyN) types …

Logistic classification is a simple way to make choices based on a set of factors: give each
factor a weight, sum the results, and use the sum to set the log odds of a random draw. This …

Frontal and parietal cortex are implicated in economic decision-making, but their causal
roles are untested. Here we silenced the frontal orienting field (FOF) and posterior parietal …

Primary sensory cortices respond to crossmodal stimuli—for example, auditory responses
are found in primary visual cortex (V1). However, it remains unclear whether these …

The flow of neural activity across the neocortex during active sensory discrimination is
constrained by task-specific cognitive demands, movements, and internal states. During …

Neural mechanisms that arbitrate between integrating and segregating multisensory
information are essential for complex scene analysis and for the resolution of the …

Intuitively, combining multiple sources of evidence should lead to more accurate decisions
than considering single sources of evidence individually. In practice, however, the proper …

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) plays a key role in integrating sensory inputs from
different modalities to support adaptive behavior. Neuronal activity in PPC reflects …

Mate choice is a potent generator of diversity and a fundamental pillar for sexual selection
and evolution. Mate choice is a multistage affair, where complex sensory information and …
