An event imagined by
cognitive neuroscience researcher
Description
Despite decades of research into the neural circuits and cognitive processes underlying human decision making, it remains difficult to decipher the precise neural implementation of cognitive processes. The theoretical foundations of this project are inspired by preliminary findings from monkeys (Isoada & Hikosaka, 2007:2008) and human patients (Laquitaine et al., 2024), showing that the dorsomedial-prefrontal-subthalamic circuit is key for successful reactive switching. The aim of this project is to provide concepts, tools and data to decipher the neural circuits involved in coding rule-switching using an exceptional data-set that leveraged on invasive recordings from the cortex and subthalamic nuclei from patients explored with depth electrodes (see Laquitaine et al., 2024 Nat. Comms. for an example of work done in the team on this topic). We manipulated environment volatility while we also temporally separated rule switching from action selection processes using a novel behavioral switching task.
