Here are the articles that we have been reading this week.
Mice alternate between discrete strategies during perceptual decision-making
Classical models of perceptual decision-making assume that animals use a single, consistent strategy to integrate sensory evidence and form decisions during an experiment. Here we provide analyses showing that this common view is incorrect. We use a...
A multimodal cell census and atlas of the mammalian primary motor cortex
We report the generation of a multimodal cell census and atlas of the mammalian primary motor cortex (MOp or M1) as the initial product of the BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN). This was achieved by coordinated large-scale analyses of...
Multiple decisions about one object involve parallel sensory acquisition but time-multiplexed evidence incorporation
The brain is capable of processing several streams of information that bear on different aspects of the same problem. Here we address the problem of making two decisions about one object, by studying difficult perceptual decisions about the color...
In new strategy, Wellcome Trust will take on global health challenges
Giant biomedical research funder says it will focus on infectious disease, mental health, and global warming

Regeringen vill införa tillfällig pandemilag
Regeringen vill se en ny tillfällig lag som skulle ge politikerna utökade befogenheter att bland annat begränsa antalet passagerare i kollektivtrafiken och att reglera öppettider och antal besökare för butiker, vilket Dagens Nyheter var först med...

Better late than never? Swedish government to introduce law that would, among other things, limit the number of passengers in public transport and to regulate opening hours and number of visitors for shops. svt.se/nyheter/inrike… via @svtnyheter

Sweden is moving away from its no-lockdown strategy and preparing strict new rules amid rising coronavirus cases
Sweden is preparing to give local authorities the power to strongly recommend people against using public transport and visiting busy pubic places.

We study how the brain represents information in support of goal-directed behavior using computational neuroimaging.
Forelimb force direction and magnitude independently controlled by spinal modules in the macaque
Studies in frogs and rodents have shown that to deal with the complexity of controlling all the muscles in the body the brain can activate sets of neurons in the spinal cord with a single signal. Here, we provide confirmation of a similar system of...
Heteronymous reflex connections in human upper limb muscles in response to stretch of forearm muscles | Journal of Neurophysiology

@tdverstynen @jjodx This is the presentation. I can reproduce great paper by Manning/Bawa on our own setup [1]. Also confirms what we suggested [2] about the wrist->elbow connectivity. Now we can study these connections much more efficiently.
