If you have a question about this talk, please contact Lyn Dakin. “Economic choice is the behavior observed when individuals make choices solely based on subjective preferences. Representative examples include choices made out of a restaurant menu and choices between different financial investments. Economic choice is thought to involve two mental stages: subjective values are assigned to the available options, and a decision is made by comparing values. Lesion studies in humans and other species establish a link between economic decisions and the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). In a series of studies conducted in non-human primates, we identified in this area three groups of neurons encoding the identities and subjective values of offered and chosen goods. In the seminar, I will describe our current understanding of this neural circuit and the role it may play in economic decisions.” This talk is part of the Adrian Seminars in Neuroscience series.
