In this episode of Neuroscience Perspectives, Dr. Anne Churchland, professor of Neurobiology at the David Geffen School of Medicine and the Brain Research Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles, explores how the brain transforms sensory information into decisions. Through the use of neuroscience, mouse models, and data analysis, she examines the neural circuits in the cortex that connect perception, attention, learning, and behavior. This conversation highlights cutting-edge brain research, offering insight into how brain signals shape choice and cognition.
