Risky decision-making as a hot new topic for research

 

Understanding how the brain makes decisions, specifically under conditions that involve risk and uncertainty, is becoming a hot new topic in Neuroscience. A recent study published in Science by Karl Deisseroth, one of the pioneers behind optogenetics, prompted a very interesting article in the New York Times. Their results dovetail very nicely with the research we are proposing through our research project.
