Former graduate student Max Shinn, co-supervised by Daeyeol Lee at MBI and John Murray at Yale University, published a paper in Nature Communications providing an important insight into the neural mechanism of perceptual decision making.

This work demonstrated that the suppression of neural activity frequently seen in association cortical areas during the initial stage of perceptual decision making is not related to pausing or resetting of evidence accumulation, as previously suggested, but rather reflects suppression of motor responses.
