The key obstacle when attacking this challenge is that we do not understand how neural systems work together to support adaptive behavior. Adaptive behavior requires processing sensory information with focused attention, reaching decisions, acting, and learning from the results of those actions. These require the brain to combine a vast array of information from prior experience, current sensory stimuli, and internal and environmental contexts. These computations involve dynamic interactions ...| International Brain Laboratory
The video above shows the change in firing rates of neurons across the entire brain during the average trial of the IBL decision-making task. Each dot represents one of 75,708 good units recorded in the brain-wide map dataset. The size of each dot represents the change in firing rate from the baseline activity. Baseline activity was calculated as the average firing rate during the first 300ms of the trial (the quiescent period). Many neurons have low firing rates and may be invisible, but to ...| International Brain Laboratory
