Studying the neural basis of decision-making has largely taken one of two paths: one has involved cell-by-cell characterization of neuronal circuits in invertebrates; and the other, single-unit studies of monkeys performing cognitive tasks. Here I shall attempt to bring these two disparate approaches together.
一条路径涉及对无脊椎动物神经回路进行逐个细胞的特性描述;另一条路径是对执行认知任务的猴子进行单神经元研究。在此,我将尝试把这两种截然不同的方法结合起来。
