HANDBOOK OF REWARD AND DECISION MAKING

This book presents the most recent and compelling neuroimaging, electrophysiological, behavioral and pharmacological techniques, in combiination with molecular and genetic tools, which have led to a clearer understanding of neural mechanisms behind reward and decision making. Armed with this understanding, neuroscientists will be able to develop new pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies to improve cognitive function in patients with neurological and psychiatric disorders (e.g., schizophrenia, Parkinson's, substance abuse, pathological gambling).
