CRCNS US-German Collaborative Research Proposal: Neural and computational mechanisms of fl — NSF Award to University of California

To behave adaptively, people need to flexibly align their decisions with their immediate and long-term goals. Failures of such goal-directed decision-making can result in an array of maladaptive behaviors, such as financial risk taking, drug abuse, or gambling.
