Competing Neural Decision Variables in Human Frontal Cortex Shape Decision Confidence
Mounting evidence indicates that decisions emerge from a competition between populations of neurons encoding the different choice options. Theoretical models propose that the outcome of this competiti...

Did you know that catecholamines can reduce choice history biases in perceptual decision-making? 🧐🔍

How do catecholamines like #noradrenaline influence perceptual #DecisionMaking? @degeelab.bsky.social @donnerlab.bsky.social &co show that higher #catecholamine levels reduce individual choice history biases by dampening bias in the accumulation of sensory evidence @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4mMmNNX

Large-scale maps of altered cortical dynamics in early-stage psychosis are related to GABAergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission
Cortex-wide changes in neural dynamics in early-stage psychosis relate to GABA-A or NMDA receptors and clinical symptoms.
