| Abstract: | (CIT): Over the past five years, Dr. Glimcher has focused on the identification and characterization of signals that intervene between the neural processes that engage in sensory encoding and the neural processes that engage movement generations. His laboratory studies these signals in cortex, the basal ganglia, and in the saccadic brainstem. The long-term goal of his research is to describe the neural events that underlie behavioral decision-making. His approach to this problem consolidates mathematical economic approaches to decision-making with traditional neurobiological tools. By using these tools in physiological analyses of the brainstem, cortex, and the basal ganglia, the Glimcher lab hopes to develop a coherent view of how the brain makes decisions.
