题目： From values to actions: the neural  basis of economic choice

时间：6月19日（下周三）上午10点

地点：脑成像中心308会议室（大会议室）

摘要：Economic decision-making is thought  to entail a series of mental processes. Multiple determinants on which each  option can vary are integrated into a subjective value. The decision is then  made by comparing values. An outstanding question is whether, or under which  circumstances,this comparison takes place in an abstract representation (space  of goods) or in a motor representation (space of actions). Importantly, even  good-based decisions typically lead to an action plan. In other words, the  choice outcome must undergo a good-to-action transformation. In a series of  experiments I recorded from several regions of the primate frontal lobe using  experimental manipulations that dissociated between valuation, choice and action  planning. The results show that the orbitofrontal cortex and lateral prefrontal  cortex are involved in different aspects of choice and choice-guided  behavior.
