I'm not an expert in ML or mice intelligence, but it sounds like some of the concepts have a mapping in ML. The author describes a faster decision making process happening in advance of the actual decision. This sounds like the development of a LSTM, where the contextual inputs leading up to a decision are encoded in the network. The author also describes an inhibitory network. This reminds me of a GAN, where the adversarial network is discriminating on whether or not the decision will be a good one based on its knowledge.
