Dopamine and Decision Making with Wolfram Schultz
In this episode, we interview Dr. Wolfram Schultz from the University of Cambridge about his fascinating research of Dopamine. Dopamine neurons are big fat cells that track threats and rewards in your environment at a timescale of hundreds of a second. They predict if the threat or reward will happen to you, and trigger actions that bring you closer to reward, and further from threat. We don’t know these processes are happening even though they help drive our behaviors and ultimately our survival.
