The Laboratory of Neuropsychology investigates higher brain functions such as stimulus encoding, reward based learning, and stochastic decision making. NIH is working to implement sophisticated, cutting-edge molecular tools that permit the modulation of specific pathways and cell types in the study of higher brain functions. This approach requires the precise spatial targeting of viral vectors into circumscribed neuroanatomical regions of nonhuman primate brain. The purpose of this requirement is to augment a validated, highly accurate surgical neuronavigation system specifically for nonhuman primates, with the purchase of four additional cameras.
