Figure 1 Two different possibilities for the way that neuronal circuits decide between alternative behaviors. (A) A reflexive possibility. Two different behaviors are triggered by different sets of sensory neurons, although the sensory neurons activated may overlap extensively in location and timing. The sensory input is then processed, often in complex ways, presenting highly abstracted input to the decision makers. Once activated, these decision makers turn on the pattern generator for behavior A and turn off the pattern generators for other behaviors; in this case, mutual inhibition between the decision makers is indicated, although the inhibition could be at any of the levels. Adapted from [12]. (B) A dynamical possibility. The graph represents the activity of three decision making neurons or groups of neurons, x, y, and z. (Such an analysis could be done for any number of neurons or neuron types, but it would require an additional axis for each one.) Stimuli A and B affect the activity of all three neurons/types, which initiates two different behaviors by triggering two different activity patterns in the three cells/clusters. The ovals represent locations in the activity space that are stable (when the activity enters either region, is sustains itself within that region). The regions between the ovals are unstable, so that activity tends to move toward one of the stable regions (they are ‘attractors’), or falls back to rest.

Figure 2 Neural networks that produce decisions in monkeys and sea slugs. (A) The circuitry underlying the interactions among swimming, feeding, and turning in the sea slug, Pleurobranchaea. Circles represent individually identified neurons or small clusters of neurons. Open triangles are excitatory synaptic connections and blackened circles are inhibitory connections. Lines ending in both symbols indicate a connection that is mixed inhibitory and excitatory. Adapted from [12]. (B) A network that summarizes the kinds of decisions made by monkeys in selecting among two or more sensory stimuli. The smaller boxes represent the kinds of features and information processing that take place in the outside world (to the left of the dashed line) and in the monkey's brain (to the right of the line). In the original diagram, there were equations in many of the boxes representing the kinds of processing that are performed in the brain. The large grey box encloses the core decision-making elements. The other boxes modify the function of the decision making core (inside the large grey box). Adapted from [3].
