  • The ability of sensory neurons to predict an animal's upcoming decision has generated enormous interest over the last 10 years, with the proposal being that the activity of these neurons causes the appropriate decision to be made. Measuring neuronal tuning curves and perceptual decisions in a visual discrimination task in macaque monkeys, decision making was found to change the responses in sensory neurons in a 'top-down' manner, consistent with the effects of attention, thus indicating that this model is too simplistic.

  • In primates, activity in the visual cortex is not driven by spontaneous body movements. These results confirm the functional specialization of primate visual processing, in contrast with findings in mice, and highlight the importance of cross-species comparisons.

  • Feedback modulates visual neurons, thought to help achieve flexible task performance. Here, the authors show decision-related feedback is not only relayed to task-relevant neurons, suggesting a broader mechanism and supporting a previously hypothesized link to feature-based attention.
