🧠Another Interesting study using functional #ultrasound #imaging ( #fUSI) in behaving #ferrets: Boucher, Shamma & Boubenec show that #PremotorCortex activity during #auditory decisions reflects the animal’s internal perceptual category more than the overt motor response itself.

How do frontal #brain regions guide #DecisionMaking in the context of perceptual & non-perceptual factors? A study in ferrets reveals that activity in the brain's #PremotorCortex tracks the perceived stimulus, not the one reported by behavior @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4tv13IZ

In our recent #JournalClub, I presented Genkin et al. (2025), who decode #DecisionMaking in the #PremotorCortex of #macaques as low-dimensional #latent #dynamics shared across #NeuralPopulations. Their generative model links tuning curves, spike-time variability, and stimulus-dependent potential landscapes to a common internal decision variable. I summarized and discussed their findings in this blog post:
