Decision making is a brain function which interprets environmental situations and chooses the best action among possible options. The past analytic studies have revealed that each brain subsystem such as the visual and motor regions, processes any specific and separate information.

The present study aims to elucidate the decision mechanism bridging the parallel and hierarchic gap among the subsystems in the primate brain.
