Transient Neuronal Suppression for Exploitation of New Sensory Evidence
In noisy but stationary environments, decisions should be based on the temporal integration of sequentially sampled evidence, but it remains poorly understood how decisions should be made in the face of dynamically changing sensory evidence. According to a new study published in Nature Communications, abrupt change in evidence leads to a brief suppression of behavioral response, which parallels a corresponding dip in neural activity. Yale Department of Psychiatry scientists Hyojung Seo, PhD, and John D. Murray, PhD, are co-authors.
