Stefan and Lars could show via electrical brain stimulation that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex probably plays a causal role in belief updating under uncertainty. The study also highlights the context-dependent (ir)rationality of human decision behavior and the role of the stress hormone cortisol in belief updating. The study entitled „Causal Role of the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Belief Updating under Uncertainty“ was published in the journal Cerebral Cortex. Congrats, Stefan!
