  "summary": "How sensory cortical activity is read out by downstream circuits to guide behavior is a fundamental unsolved problem. Substantial work has examined correlations between sensory neural responses and animals' perceptual judgments, but their interpretations remained controversial due to many intervening variables, such as responses of unrecorded neurons. Furthermore, stimulus and choice encoding in…",
