Abelson's research

Abelson's research primarily focused on understanding how learning and decision-making occur in the brain. He explored how neural circuits process information, adapt through experience, and influence behavior. His work revealed insights into the mechanisms underlying cognition, memory, and sensory processing, often using computational models and neural recording techniques. Overall, Abelson's studies contributed to a deeper understanding of the brain’s dynamic systems, helping us comprehend how we learn from our environment and make choices based on past experiences.
