摘要: Mapping specific sensory features to future motor actions is a crucial capability of mammalian nervous systems. We investigated the role visual (V1), posterior parietal (PPC), and frontal (fMC) cortices for sensorimotor mapping in mice during performance memory-guided discrimination task. Large-scale calcium imaging revealed that V1, PPC, fMC neurons exhibited heterogeneous responses spanning all task epochs (stimulus, delay, response). Population analyses demonstrated unique encoding stimulus identity behavioral choice information across regions, with V1 stimulus, even early trial, PPC multiplexing two variables. Optogenetic inhibition behavior regions were necessary epoch, but only was required delay response epochs. Stimulus can thus be rapidly transformed into choice, requiring transformation period, maintaining memory prior execution.
