About

Kent Berridge is the James Olds Distinguished University Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Michigan, USA. His research focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying appetitive motivation and hedonic functions, as evidenced by his recent articles exploring topics such as the role of the frontal cortex, affectivism, and the impacts of various neural systems on incentive and aversive motivations. He employs advanced techniques, including optogenetics, to map the neural circuitry involved in reward processing and related behaviors.
