Roger Carpenter (Neurobiologist)

Roger Carpenter is a neurobiologist known for his research on how the brain processes information and makes decisions. He explores the neural mechanisms behind learning, memory, and behavior, particularly through the lens of reinforcement learning, which studies how rewards influence actions. His work has contributed to understanding how dopamine, a key brain chemical, plays a role in motivating behavior and shaping experiences. Carpenter's research helps bridge the gap between neuroscience and psychology, providing insights into how our brains adapt and respond to the environment, ultimately informing fields such as medicine, education, and artificial intelligence.
