This Is the First Time Scientists Have Seen Decisionmaking in a Brain

WIRED

Twelve laboratories around the world have joined forces to map neuronal activity in a mouse's brain as it makes decisions. All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Neuroscientists from around the world have worked in parallel to map, for the first time, the entire brain activity of mice while they were making decisions. This achievement involved using electrodes inserted inside the brain to simultaneously record the activity of more than half a million neurons distributed across 95 percent of the rodents' brain volume.
