My PhD thesis investigates the role of the\u00a0prefrontal brain cortex in motivation and attention as evaluated by cognitive and\u00a0neurobiological outcomes. Research tools such as TMS, fMRI, EEG which are used\u00a0in my work, combines advanced monitoring with direct manipulation of the brain\u00a0structures and networks that underlay the examined behavioral changes. My hope is\u00a0that by furthering our understanding of the neural function, we may derive a better\u00a0understanding of the brain and more effective treatments for associated diseases.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Presentations in conferences:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hamutal Shahar, Moshe Isserles, Gabriel s Pell and Abraham Zangen.
