Identification of Neural Circuits for Efficient Information Processing through Core Information Extraction in the Primate Basal Ganglia

Prof. Hyoung F. Kim

Professor Hyoung F. Kim’s and Sue-Hyun Lee’s research teams in School of Biological Sciences and Psychology department at SNU have discovered how single neurons in the primate basal ganglia extract value from modality-specific inputs, enabling efficient decision-making with fewer neural resources, and highlights the efficient information processing mechanisms underlying natural intelligence.
