Mapping changes in CBGT activity across CLAW zones to variations in DDM parameters.

(A) Firing rate changes during zone transitions are mapped to the DDM space through control ensembles. The vectors and represent the difference in the firing rate measurements from zone I to zone III (blue) and zone IV (red), respectively. These changes update the static DDM parameter set from to or . (B) The corresponding DDM behavior that fits the decision outcomes, assuming that CBGT activity stays in one zone (here, either zone I, zone III, or zone IV) over the entire decision process. (C) Prediction about the actual dynamic DDM behavior (magenta) as trials travel from zone I to zone III, the DT distribution of which is constrained by those corresponding to the static cases.
