Abstract:
The neuroscience of decision making is laying the puzzle of how the brain computes decisions. It tries to sort out which factors are responsible for causing us to choose one way or the other. This thesis reviews to what extent emotional brain processes and their neural circuits impact decision making. The somatic marker hypothesis (SMH) provides a solid dual-system framework for decision making. Dissociating an impulsive system, in which the amygdala is central, and a reflective system mediated by the ventromedial prefrontal cortex(VMPFC). The SMH emphasizes the function of the VMPFC as necess

For decades, neuroscience has greatly contributed to our foundational understanding of human behavior.

The aim of this thesis was to understand the function of the frontal lobes during different types of decisions thusfar mostly neglected in cognitive neuroscience. Namely, I sought to understand how decisions are made when comparisons are not about a simple set of concrete options presented, but rather require a comparison with one specific encounter and a sense of the value of the current environment <b>(Chapter 2-3)</b>. Additionally, I wanted to understand how decisions between concrete options can be contextualized by the current environment to allow considerations about changing environmen

Our brain, perhaps the most sophisticated and mysterious part of the human body, to some extent, determines who we are. However, it’s a vulnerable organ. When subjected to an impact, such as a traffic accident or sport, it may lead to traumatic brain injury (TBI) which can have devastating effects for those who suffer the injury. Despite lots of efforts have been put into primary injury prevention, the number of TBIs is still on an unacceptable high level in a global perspective.

Proper selection of new moving direction after external mechanical stimulation is essential for animals to avoid danger (i.e. predators), and thus is vital for survival.

The molecular and cellular mechanisms that convert mechanosensation into proper navigation decision, however, remain largely undefined.

This sensorimotor process underlies a range of human behaviours and has been studied extensively by both psychologists and neuroscientists.

Perceptual decision making involves the classification of sensory information, usually followed by an overt behavioural response.

Abstract:
The problem of representing decision making behaviour in discrete event simulation was investigated. Of particular interest was modelling variety in the decisions, where different people might make different decisions even where the same circumstances hold. An initial investigation of existing and alternative approaches for representing decision making was carried out. This led to the suggestion of using a neural network to represent the decision making behaviour in the form of a multi-criteria probability distribution based on data of observed decision making. The feasibility of the stochasti

Abstract:
This is the first study that exclusively focuses on gaining knowledge of the vast opportunities that Neuroscientific pricing research offers for marketing purposes. The findings of this study provide evidence of the importance to improve customer and organizational decision making. The findings further highlight the crucial importance of Neuroscientific pricing research. Moreover, evidence is provided that fundamental and well formulated models and concepts need to be developed in the discipline of Neuroscientific pricing research. Neuroscientific pricing research can improve the understanding

Abstract:
It is a well-known phenomenon that stress can lead to hippocampal damage and a subsequent decline in anterograde memory. We are now learning that stress may also damage the prefrontal cortex, a brain region involved in important cognitive abilities such as judgment and decision making. Notably, several of the brain regions vulnerable to increased levels of stress (i.e., hippocampus and prefrontal cortex), are also known to undergo disproportionate decline during normal aging. To date, surprisingly very little research has examined the effects of stress on the prefrontal cortex and decision-mak

Abstract:
In order to bring together developmental psychology and social neuroscience approaches to moral decision-making, several theoretical approaches were integrated, creating the Social Information Processing-Moral Decision-making framework (SIP-MDM). Initially, a systematic review and meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies of moral decision-making was conducted. The meta-analysis identified brain regions that consistently show increased activation when making moral decisions. Analysis also revealed that making one’s own moral response decisions is associated with increased activation in additional

Abstract:
Drosophila melanogaster is an invaluable model organism for the study of basic neuroscience. Using two previously characterized mating behaviours (Longer- and Shorter-Mating Duration), this research aims to further our knowledge of the neural circuit involved in each, and shed light on the mechanism by which four SIFamide producing neurons are involved in both. We also seek to investigate the involvement of core circadian clock genes in interval timing mechanisms. To do so, we investigated the populations of SIFamide receptor expressing neurons necessary for each behaviour and studied the cont

Abstract:
Comment arrivons-nous à décider entre différentes options ? Cette question, qui a inspiré des générations d'économistes et de psychologues, est désormais entrée dans le domaine des neurosciences cognitives, où elle a évolué en : comment notre cerveau décide-t-il entre différentes options ? Les mécanismes sous-jacents ont souvent été décomposés en plusieurs étapes. Tout d'abord, une étape d’évaluation aurait lieu, où chaque option se voit attribuer une valeur subjective. Ensuite vient l'étape de comparaison, où les valeurs subjectives des différentes options sont comparées, et enfin l'étape de

This thesis explores the potential for applying a 'Mind Brain and Education' (MBE) perspective in a football-coaching context, specifically through focusing on the application of neuroscience in the area of decision-making. It presents a series of interrelated research studies undertaken at a professional foot ball academy and the English Football Association (FA). The thesis combined different perspectives (social, psychological and neuroscientific) and drew on methods from both quantitative and qualitative research traditions.

Abstract:
The subthalamic nucleus (STN), which is the most common target for deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease, is known to be crucially involved in motor control. Recent appreciation of the potential non-motor side effects of STN deep brain stimulation, however, has led to speculation that the importance of this nucleus may also relate to processes involved in decision- making, particularly during high conflict scenarios. This thesis concerns itself with investigating the STN's role in action selection during conflict. I begin by recording local field potentials directly from the STN of Pa

L'estimulació provoca un canvi en el paisatge d'atractors que afavoreix la transició entre l'atractor neutre inicial a un dels atractors associats a les eleccions categòriques.

Abstract:
Our experience of the world depends on integration of cues from multiple senses to form unified percepts. How the brain merges information across sensory modalities has been the object of debate. To measure how rats bring together information across sensory modalities, we devised an orientation categorization task that combines vision and touch. Rats encounter an object–comprised of alternating black and white raised bars–that looks and feels like a grating and can be explored by vision (V), touch (T), or both (VT). The grating is rotated to assume one orientation on each trial, spanning a ran

Le paradigme bayésien s'est imposé comme une interprétation mathématique élégante du comportement humain dans des tâches d'inférence. Pourtant, il ne rend pas compte de la présence de sous-optimalité, de variabilité, et de biais systématiques chez les humains. De plus, le cerveau doit mettre à jour ses représentations du monde extérieur, au fil des informations qui lui parviennent, dans des environnements naturels qui changent au cours du temps, et présentent une structure temporelle.
