Descripción

Decision Neuroscience: An Integrative Perspective presents the most recent and compelling lesional, neuroimaging, electrophysiological, and computational studies, in combination with hormonal and genetic studies, which have led to a clearer understanding of the neural mechanisms behind reward and decision making. The neural bases of reward and decision-making processes are of critical interest to scientists because of the fundamental role that reward plays in a number of behavioral processes (such as motivation learning, and cognition), and because the neural bases have theoretical and clinical implications for understanding dysfunctions of the dopaminergic system in several neurological and psychiatric disorders. This book will constitute a comprehensive update of ground-breaking work addressing fundamental questions about the nature of behavior: how does the brain process reward and how does it make decisions when facing multiple options? And will feature entirely new content, as well as expanded coverage on drug and behavioral addiction, the role of subthalamus stimulation in neurological disorders and neuroeconomics.

Puntos claves

  • Provides comprehensive coverage of approaches to studying reward and decision making, including primate neurophysiology and brain-imaging studies in healthy humans and in various disorders, genetic and hormonal influences on the reward system, and computational models
  • Discusses clinical implications of process dysfunction, including schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, eating disorders, drug addiction, and pathological gambling
  • Uses multiple levels of analysis, from molecular mechanisms to neural systems dynamics and computational models

De interès para

Established researchers, undergraduate and graduate students in cognitive neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, neurobiology, neuroeconomics, cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, systems neuroscience, model-based neuroimaging, computational neuroscience, probabilistic models of decision making.

Jean-Claude Dreher

Dr Jean-Claude Dreher (research director, CNRS, http://dreherteam.cnc.isc.cnrs.fr/en/). Dr Dreher is the director of the Neuroeconomics, Reward and Decision making team at the 'Centre de Neurosciences Cognitives' (Lyon, France). He studied Mathematics, psychopathology and Cognitive Neuroscience in Paris. The general approach of his research group is to characterize the brain mechanisms underlying motivation and decision making in healthy subjects and to study neurological and psychiatric disorders in which these mechanisms are dysfunctional. He received two Fellow Awards for Research Excellence at the NIH. He is the author of around 40 research papers and the editor of the 'Handbook of Reward and Decision Making' (Academic PRess, Elsevier, 2009). His research has been highlighted in major scientific journals (Nature Reviews Neuroscience, PNAS, TiCS) and featured in a international media (newspapers, radio and TV programs).
