Modern decision neuroscience offers a powerful and broad account of human behaviour
using computational techniques that link psychological and neuroscientific approaches to …

Neurophysiological studies of decision-making have focused primarily on elucidating the
mechanisms of classic economic decisions, for which the relevant variables are the values …

Organisms have evolved to trade priorities across various needs, such as growth, survival,
and reproduction. In naturally complex environments this incurs high computational costs …

In this article, I review the approach taken by behavioral ecologists to the study of animal
foraging behavior and explore connections with general analyses of decision making. I use …

Models and experiments on adaptive decision-making typically consider highly simplified
environments that bear little resemblance to the complex, heterogeneous world in which …

Introduction Studies of categorical decision-making attempt to understand behavior by
probing how different features of complex and changing environments guide the selection of …

Decision making in an uncertain environment poses a conflict between the opposing
demands of gathering and exploiting information. In a classic illustration of this 'exploration …

Deciding when to leave a depleting resource to exploit another is a fundamental problem for
all decision makers. The neuronal mechanisms mediating patch-leaving decisions remain …

Rodent decision-making research aims to uncover the neural circuitry underlying the ability
to evaluate alternatives and select appropriate actions. Designing behavioral paradigms that …

Explore-exploit decisions require us to trade off the benefits of exploring unknown options to
learn more about them, with exploiting known options, for immediate reward. Such decisions …
