Neuroscience has paid only little attention to decision-making for many
years. Although no field of science has cohered around this topic, a
variety of researchers in different areas of neuroscience ranging from
cellular physiology to neuropsychology and computational neuroscience
have been engaged in working on this issue. Thus, the time seemed to be
ripe to bring these researchers together and discuss the state of the
art of the neurobiology of decision-making in a broad forum. This book
is a collection of contributions presented at that forum in Paris in
October 1994 organized by the Fondation IPSEN.
