History-based action selection bias in posterior parietal cortex

Past outcomes modulate activity in a diverse set of brain regions however their precise influence on decisions is not known. Here the authors show that posterior parietal cortex neurons encode history-related signals between trials and optogenetic inactivation during this epoch disrupts the history...

Summary:Past outcomes modulate activity in a diverse set of brain regions however their precise influence on decisions is not known. Here the authors show that posterior parietal cortex neurons encode history-related signals between trials and optogenetic inactivation during this epoch disrupts the history dependence of choice.
