You should learn neuroeconomics: because we are our brain

"Cogito ergo sum"
in neurobiology era
"I am my brain"
And my brain is genomics and ontology.

"The theory and data available today indicate that the phasic

activity of midbrain dopamine neurons encodes a reward

prediction error used to guide learning throughout the frontal

cortex and the basal ganglia. Activity in these dopaminergic

neurons is now believed to signal that a subject’s estimate of the

value of current and future events is in error and indicate the

magnitude of this error. This is a kind of combined signal that

most scholars active in dopamine studies believe adjusts synaptic

strengths in a quantitative manner until the subject’s estimate of

the value of current and future events is accurately encoded in

the frontal cortex and basal ganglia. Although some confusion

remains within the larger neuroscience community, very little

data exist that are incompatible with this hypothesis. This review

provides a brief overview of the explanatory synergy between

behavioral, anatomical, physiological, and biophysical data that

has been forged by recent computational advances. For a more

detailed treatment of this hypothesis, refer to Niv and Montague

(1) or Dayan and Abbot (2)."
