A new study from Thomas Clandinin's laboratory reports that unique neural activity states in an animal's brain predict whether it will act on or ignore a visual threat. The findings, shared by neuroscientist Björn Brembs, shed light on how internal brain activity shapes action selection, a long-standing question in neuroscience about behaviour that cannot be explained by external stimuli alone.

Why now: Fresh research from a prominent neuroscience lab offers new insight into how internal brain states govern decision-making
