A cell-type specific explanation of visual decision circuits.
Abstract The main goal of my laboratory is to understand the neural circuits that support perceptual decision-making. Recent efforts to understand microcircuits within decision-making areas have been fruitful, thanks in part to the ability to identify and manipulate distinct types of inhibitory neurons. Our understanding how distinct types of excitatory pyramidal neurons (PyNs) shape circuits has lagged behind. This lack of understanding is particularly problematic for decision circuits in which PyN type can determine the long-range project target of neurons within an area. To surmount this problem, we propose to compare the contribution of distinct PyN types to key decision- making…
