I’m very happy to post my first about a new manuscript we’ve just put on : This is work by Ben Cowley, part of his thesis jointly with Byron Yu’s group and my own (Ben is now a postdoc with ). /1

Ben leveraged our large-scale electrophysiological recordings in visual and prefrontal cortex to identify a key signal underlying perceptual decisions. /2

This signal, which Ben called “slow drift”, could be described as a neural correlate of impulsivity or arousal. It was tightly related to slow fluctuations in the animal’s behavior in terms of hit rate, false alarm rate, reaction time, and pupil size. /3

Slow drift was present in both visual cortex (V4) and prefrontal cortex (8Ar). These brain areas, centimeters apart, were tightly locked together to this common process. /4

Slow drift was weakly present in the population average, but strongly evident in mixtures of simultaneously recorded neurons./5

We think this work connects to and substantial advances a rich history of single-neuron studies in non-human primate perceptual decision-making, and provides an important link to numerous recent studies in rodents showing large-scale population activity modulation. /6

We hope you enjoy reading the work as much as we enjoyed doing the science, and we'd be happy to hear your thoughts. /7
