Ilana B. Witten is an American neuroscientist and professor of psychology and neuroscience at Princeton University. Witten studies the mesolimbic pathway, with a focus on the striatal neural circuit mechanisms driving reward learning and decision making.
Ilana B. Witten, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the Neuroscience Institute at Princeton University. Her lab at Princeton works on interrogating the neural circuitry that supports reward learning and decision making.
Mar 15, 2018 · Ilana Witten's research, identifying a neural link between spatial learning and socialization, hints at new avenues to help people with social behavior disorders that affect their prefrontal cortex.
Ph.D., Stanford University. The drive to seek rewards – for example, food, water, or social interactions – shape most of our behaviors. How do animals learn which actions will lead to reward? How do rewards shape decisions?
