[The neurophysiological correlates of the processes of decision making in the cerebral cortex during visual recognition in monkeys].
In behavioral experiments on monkeys tested for a delayed visual differentiation of different colours stimuli, neuronal pools were recorded simultaneously in the visual, prefrontal and inferotemporal cortex. Wrong motor responses were always followed by considerable readjustments of the unit activity patterns whereas in right decisions a synchronisation and a cross-correlation occurred between neuronal pools. Possible mechanisms of the decision making and the reasons for the desynchronisation in wrong responses, are discussed.
