动物与其猎物、捕食者、邻居和竞争对手之间的相互作用被称为生态相互作用。在生态相互作用中做出有效的决策对神经系统提出了根本性的挑战。其中包括需要从复杂且不断变化的感官场景中过滤出相关信息，平衡相互竞争的目标，并在与其他动物互动过程中发生的强烈相互反馈中产生稳健的行为。在这里，我回顾一下生态决策研究的最新进展。通过对鱼类的研究，我展示了行为学和大脑回路的知识如何融合，以更全面地理解大脑如何解决这些问题，从而产生强大的自然行为序列。
The interactions an animal has with its prey, predators, neighbors, and competitors are known as ecological interactions. Making effective decisions during ecological interactions poses fundamental challenges for the nervous system. Among these are the need to filter relevant information out of complex and ever-changing sensory scenes, to balance competing objectives, and to generate robust behavior amid the strong mutual feedbacks that occur during interactions with other animals. Here, I review recent advancements in the study of ecological decision-making. Using research with fishes, I illustrate how knowledge of ethology and brain circuitry are converging to yield a more holistic understanding of how the brain solves these problems to produce robust sequences of natural behavior.
