{"pk":27429,"title":"A Plausible Micro Neural Circuit for Decision-Making","subtitle":null,"abstract":"An intermediate level between neural circuits and behaviors is\nneural computations, various behaviors that animals exhibit\nfollowing some basic control laws can be implemented by some\ncanonical neural computations [Carandini, 2012]. To explore how\nthe microscopic activity of neurons leads to macroscopic\nbehavioral control strategy, we consider basic logic-like operations\nas some canonical computations in the brain. In this paper, firstly\nwe designed the functional circuits for basic logic-like operations\nbased on the known neurophysiological properties. Secondly,\nusing basic functional circuits constructed a possible neural\nnetwork for decision logic of animal’s behavior. This study\nprovides a general approach for constructing the neural circuits to\nimplement the behavioral control rules. Furthermore, this study\nwill help us to establish a transitional bridge between the\nmicroscopic activity of the nervous system and the macroscopic\nanimal behavior.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Neural circuits; Logic; Neural computations;"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/65s227h7","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Wei","middle_name":"","last_name":"Hui","name_suffix":"","institution":"Fudan University","department":""},{"first_name":"Dai","middle_name":"","last_name":"Dawei","name_suffix":"","institution":"Fudan University","department":""},{"first_name":"Bu","middle_name":"","last_name":"Yijie","name_suffix":"","institution":"Fudan University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27429/galley/17065/download/"}]}
