Thesis
Dynamics of human decision-making under uncertainty in health and disease
- Abstract:
-
This thesis investigated how humans reduce uncertainty in decision-making and how this capacity is disrupted by brain pathology, with a focus on white matter (WM) damage in cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) and lesions in the medial frontal lobe (MFL). Multimodal neuroimaging and variants of a relatively novel decision-making behavioural paradigm were employed to characterize the neural and cognitive mechanisms underlying decisionmaking under uncertainty.
