Computational Principles for Decision-Making​

A talk by Dr. Lerner at the 2024 Kavli Frontiers of Science Korean-American Symposium, which provides an overview of the field of decision-making and the computational principles by which we can begin to integrate findings about decision-making from across neuroscientific subdisciplines. She then focuses on examples from the Lerner laboratory, using rodents as a model system to dissect behavioral strategies underlying decisions to seek rewards under the threat of punishment.

The Lerner Lab seeks passionate, curious, and self-driven scientists to join our team.
