This award supports research on understanding how humans make probabilistic decisions involving positive and negative outcomes, focusing on brain mechanisms and the impact of anxiety and depression.
Description
The work proposed here examines commonalities and differences in the computations and brain mechanisms supporting human probabilistic decision-making when potential outcomes are aversive versus rewarding, investigates alterations to these mechanisms as a function of anxiety and depressive symptomatology, and provides tasks and models for future clinical studies.
