A V HILL LECTURE - The rewarded brain
Mon 25 October 2021
Department of Chemistry
The A V Hill Lecture by Professor Wolfram Schultz, Professor of Neuroscience Department of Physiology Development and Neuroscience, University of Cambridge.
The second talk in a series of lectures organised by the Cambridge Philosophical Society in the Michaelmas Term 2021.
Abstract: The talk will describe the properties of neurons in the brain’s reward systems and how their action contributes to economic decision-making. Each of several reward systems, including the dopamine neurons, striatum, amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex, play a unique role in these processes. The details of this function are currently being investigated using designs based on behavioral theories, such as animal learning theory, machine learning and economic utility theory.
