Rats Use Multitasking Neurons to Navigate Decision Making

Caption

Rats use multitasking neurons to navigate the complex demands of decision making. Each ellipse shows a two dimensional representation of the patterns that neuronal populations exhibit during decision formation. Here, dashed vs solid lines refer to trials in which the animal made a left vs a right decision, red vs blue lines depict auditory vs visual trials.
