Check out our work led by Katrina Quinn, showing that neural representations of abstract choice aren't just due to a requirement to flexibly & rapidly switch between choice-motor mappings. This points to a general role of abstraction in decision-making. #neuroscience www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
