The UCL Neuroscience Society is more than happy to host one of the most prestigious neuroscientists in the world, the Brain Prize winner Prof Wolfram Schultz from Cambridge University.

His presentation will be on the Neuronal mechanisms for Reward, utility and economic preferences. Prof Schultz is interested to relate the mechanics of brain activity to measurable behaviour. He combines neurophysiological, imaging and behavioural techniques to investigate the neural correlates of goal-directed. His lab is interested in outcome value (in particular reward) signals in specific brain structures such as dopamine neurons, striatum, frontal cortex and amygdala. These rapid, global, evaluative and supervising neural signals may play a role in decision-making and choice behaviour. In investigating these outcome-coding mechanisms they try to establish a common biological basis for animal learning theory, microeconomic utility and game theories, and behavioural ecology. The larger background is to consider the brain in its capacity for processing reward information as an essential organ for assuring the fitness for survival in an evolutionary framework.

The UCL Neuroscience Society is looking forward to this amazing presentation! Come along, and get an insight into a highly-recognized scientist's brain. ;)
