    THE KENNETH O. JOHNSON MEMORIAL LECTURE
     
    *Neural Codes, Perception, Memory and Decision-Making*


    Ranulfo Romo, MD, PhD
    National Autonomous University of Mexico-UNAM, Mexico City
     
    “Recent studies have provided new insights into how cortical areas integrate efforts to solve a vibrotactile discrimination task. In particular, these studies have addressed how neural codes are related to perception, working memory and decision-making in this model. In this lecture, I will describe how the primary somatosensory cortex drives higher cortical areas where past and current sensory information are combined, such that a comparison of the two evolves into a behavioral decision."
