Recently, Katz and colleagues report the effects of silencing neurons in two brain areas during a perceptual decision-making task. In a landmark result, silencing neurons in the visual cortex impaired performance but silencing neurons whose activity correlates to the decision had no effect.

大脑中的感知决策在哪里做出？

最近，Katz 及其同事报告了在感知决策任务期间使两个大脑区域中的神经元沉默的影响。在一个具有里程碑意义的结果中，使视觉皮层中的神经元沉默会损害表现，但使活动与决策相关的神经元沉默没有影响。
