Information encoding and pathways in basal ganglia neurons

The decision making process is a phenomenon which is hard to track using the standard signal averaging methods such as peri-event time histograms (PETHs). Indeed, even if the sequence of the events is controlled during a behavioural task, the inter-event interval duration remains highly variable. We have applied a temporal normalization method such that PETHs can be mapped across all events of a task trial and compared from neuron to neuron and...
