The paper investigates how temporal weighting of sensory evidence in decision-making is shaped by interactions between sensory and decision circuits using behavioral, neural, and computational models in macaques.

This study shows that accumulating tokens toward a jackpot reward improves decision-making accuracy and speed in macaques, with neural activity in dACC reflecting reference-dependent value encoding.

The paper shows that during decision-making, macaques' gaze at empty locations reactivates value encoding in orbitofrontal cortex, influencing choices even after offers are no longer visible.

This study maps visual information flow between cortical layers in macaque V1 and V4 and shows how attention modulates this communication.
