TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Decision-Making and Consciousness A1 - Kandel, Eric R. A1 - Koester, John D. A1 - Mack, Sarah H. A1 - Siegelbaum, Steven A. PY - 2021 T2 - Principles of Neural Science, 6e AB - IN THE EARLIER CHAPTERS, WE HAVE SEEN how sensory input is transformed into neural activity that is then processed by the brain to give rise to immediate percepts and how those percepts can be stored as short- and long-term memories (Chapters 52, 53, 54). We have also examined in detail how movement is controlled by the spinal cord and brain. Here, we begin to consider one of the most challenging aspects of neuroscience: the transformation of sensory input to motor output through the higher-order cognitive process of decision-making. In doing so, we are afforded a glimpse of the building blocks of higher thought and consciousness.
