How hunger alters decision-making
Everyday decision-making is often accompanied by conflict – whether we make the most appropriate decision or not can be influenced by both internal and external factors.
Aim
This project aims to understand how the brain integrates signals from the external environment and internal signals from within the body, such as hunger, to make decisions when conflicted.
Using innovative methods, we will characterise and alter activity of the brain to gain insight into how this information is incorporated in mice.
