Genetic Dissection of Neural Circuits Underlying Value Based Decision Making
… that required repetition of the processes of action initiation, action selection, and learning. The task is a two-option choice task with stochastic reward delivery and reversals. To map brain areas involved in this type of value-based learning, we inactivated neuronal activity in the …

READY, STEADY, AND GO. A Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Study of Set-Related Inhibitory Activity in the Human Dorsal Precentral Region
… appropriate, but also to stop them if required. Action initiation and control are characteristic features of many of our daily life actions. There is a large amount of evidence in monkeys and humans suggesting that the dorsal premotor cortex (PMD) and the supplementary motor areas (SMA) might be …

Voluntary Action and Conscious Intention
… a spiking neural network model of self-initiated action that explains movement-related signals at multiple spatiotemporal scales. In the second study, I investigated what kind of process underlies spontaneous action initiation and how that process relates to awareness of motor preparation through …

Essays in Asset Pricing
… the impact of investment adviser disciplinary actions on mutual fund performance and investor redemption behavior. After a regulatory disciplinary action initiation, funds experience a transitory performance loss in the next month. In contrast, I observe persistent fund outflows starting two …

Action Intentions and the Puzzle of Non-Willed Behaviour
It feels intuitive that our actions are intentional, but there is considerable debate about whether (and how) humans control their behaviour. Ideomotor models of action argue that action intentions have a fundamentally perceptual format. In these views, actions are not only controlled by …

Neural Mechanisms of Homeostatic Need and Reward
… clusters that are temporally correlated with action initiation, consumption, and cessation shared by feeding and drinking. These dynamic clusters also show a nearly complete overlap of individual D1 neurons and extensive overlap among D2 neurons. Modulating D1 and D2 neural activities revealed …
