Abstract

How do we decide how to react to a stimulus or event? To do so requires recognition of the stimulus itself as well as an appreciation of the context within which that stimulus is encountered. In this issue of Neuron, Stoet and Snyder report that neurons in the parietal cortex of monkeys can carry contextual information related to the rules that are relevant for solving a visual discrimination task.

摘要

我们如何决定对刺激或事件做出何种反应？要做到这一点，需要识别刺激本身以及对遇到该刺激的背景有所了解。在本期《神经元》杂志中，斯托特和斯奈德报告称，猴子顶叶皮层中的神经元可以携带与解决视觉辨别任务相关的规则的上下文信息。
