Dissecting behaviourally relevant feedback microcircuits in the brain

Queen Mary University of London Blizard Institute

Interactions between distinct neural circuits in the brain help in sensory-guided perceptual decisions. We have recently reported that task/context-switching behaviour is dependent upon specific populations of neurons in the frontal cortex which encode and convey rule-related information (Banerjee et al.
