 an primates has revealed the neuronal activity patterns underlying decisio
 n-making. However\, the circuit mechanisms for such patterns remain largel
 y unknown. Recent detailed circuit analyses in simpler neural systems have
  started to reveal the connectivity patterns underlying analogous processe
 s. Here we review a few of these systems that share a particular connectiv
 ity pattern\, namely mutual inhibition of lateral inhibition. Close examin
 ation of these systems suggests that this recurring connectivity pattern (
 ‘network motif’) is a building block to enforce particular dynamics\, 
 which can be used not only for simple behavioral choice but also for more 
 complex choices and other brain functions. Thus\, a network motif provides
  an elementary computation that is not specific to a particular brain func
 tion and serves as an elementary building block in the brain.
