| Research Abstract |
We investigated information processing mechanism of decision-making by using the task of choosing one of two alternatives that have different work load and reward amount. The error rate of the task performance was well explained by the exponential discounting model of the reward value. Neurons in the orbitofrontal cortex responded to the differential value of the two alternatives. On the other hand, in reward schedules, neurons in the dorsal raphe coded the beginning of the schedule and the reward information not only by the spike strengths but also by their temporal patterns.
