The paper investigates whether cortical neurons projecting to the same target form specialized population codes, finding structured correlations that enhance information transmission during correct behavioral choices.

The paper tests how time costs affect decision-making by manipulating time pressure in a perceptual task, finding that participants made faster but less accurate decisions.

The paper identifies neurons in V1, PPC, and RSC that encode mixed selectivity for navigation decisions, forming efficient population codes in RSC for correct choices.

The paper shows that mice with different cognitive experiences use distinct cortical areas and neural activity patterns for navigation decisions, highlighting past learning as a key factor in determining cortical necessity for decision-making.
