Research project funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to study neural mechanisms of context-dependent behavior in primates, combining computational models and electrophysiology, with implications for mental health disorders.
Description
This project aims to investigate neural mechanisms supporting context-dependent behavior in primates, with implications for mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anxiety. The research combines computational models and electrophysiology in non-human primates to understand how context is represented and learned in the brain, focusing on prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and striatum.
