Making everyday life decisions is vital to our survival and relies as much on the cerebral cortex as on regions that reside Deep in our Brain, namely the subcortex. Studies on networks connecting small nuclei in the Deep Brain with cortical regions can provide key insights into learning, memory-guided, economic, and perceptual decision-making processes. However, the structural and functional organization of these processes is still incompletely understood, highlighting a knowledge gap in the field. The aim of this talk is to deliver insights into the functional understanding of different decision-making domains implemented in Deep Brain networks using a joint modeling approach of brain and behavior.
