Abstract

Perceptual decision making is the process by which animals detect, discriminate, and categorize information from the senses. Over the past two decades, understanding how perceptual decisions are made has become a central theme in the neurosciences. Exceptional progress has been made by recording from single neurons in the cortex of the macaque monkey and using computational models from mathematical psychology to relate these neural data to behavior. More recently, however, the range of available techniques and paradigms has dramatically broadened, and researchers have begun to harness new approaches to explore how rodents and humans make perceptual decisions. The results have illustrated some striking convergences with findings from the monkey, but also raised new questions and provided new theoretical insights. In this review, we summarize key findings, and highlight open challenges, for understanding perceptual decision making in rodents, monkeys, and humans.

摘要

感知决策是动物从感觉中检测、区分和分类信息的过程。在过去的二十年中，理解感知决策是如何做出的已成为神经科学的一个核心主题。通过记录猕猴皮层中的单个神经元，并使用来自数学心理学的计算模型将这些神经数据与行为联系起来，已经取得了非凡的进展。然而，最近可用的技术和范式的范围大大拓宽了，研究人员已经开始利用新方法来探索啮齿动物和人类如何做出感知决策。研究结果表明，这些发现与猴子的发现有一些惊人的相似之处，但也提出了新的问题，并提供了新的理论见解。在这篇综述中，我们总结了理解啮齿动物、猴子和人类感知决策的关键发现，并强调了尚未解决的挑战。
