. Dr. Monosov’s work includes electrophysiological, neurochemical, anatomical, and optogenetic investigations of a wide range of behaviors and mental processes, including eye movements, perceptual selection, learning, and motivation by reward, uncertainty, and aversion. Students working in the Monosov laboratory will learn methods of neuronal recordings and pharmacology experiments in behaving monkeys in order to identify networks of primate brain areas process information about reward uncertainty.
