KILLAM LECTURE - Tuesday, March 01, 2011 - 4:00 De Grandpre

SPEAKER: Dr. Elisabeth Murray, Ph.D., Neuropsychology Laboratory, NIH

TITLE: What's it Worth? Orbital Prefrontal Cortex Contributions to Reward-Based Decision Making

HOST: Dr. Michael Petrides

After postdoctoral work at the NIMH with Mort Mishkin studying the neural substrates of tactual learning and memory, she became a Staff Fellow and then a tenured faculty member within the Laboratory of Neuropsychology, NIMH. Dr. Murray was awarded the Demuth Swiss Medical Research Foundation Award for Young Investigators in the Neurosciences and a PHS Special Recognition Award. Dr. Murray's laboratory is studying the neural basis of learning and memory, including how object and spatial perceptions in the different sensory modalities are formed into memories, how they evoke emotions and motor acts, and how the stored information may be used to plan future actions.

Dr. Elisabeth Murray has made major discoveries on how the orbital prefrontal cortex in the monkey makes decisions about the value of objects.
