Overview

Geoffrey Schoenbaum is affiliated with the National Institutes of Health in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on neuroscience, with a significant emphasis on cognitive neuroscience. Other specialized areas within their field include cellular and molecular neuroscience, molecular biology, sensory systems, and aspects of artificial intelligence.

Their work covers a broad range of topics related to brain function and behavior. These include:

  • Memory and Neural Mechanisms
  • Neural dynamics and brain function
  • Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research
  • Neurotransmitter Receptor Influence on Behavior
  • Neural and Behavioral Psychology Studies
  • Functional Brain Connectivity Studies
  • Receptor Mechanisms and Signaling

Frequent venues for Schoenbaum's publications include:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Current Biology
  • Faculty Opinions - Post-Publication Peer Review of the Biomedical Literature
  • Behavioral Neuroscience
  • Nature Neuroscience

Among their recent papers are:

  • Interactions between human orbitofrontal cortex and hippocampus support model-based inference, 2020, PLoS Biology
  • Evolving schema representations in orbitofrontal ensembles during learning, 2020, Nature
  • Causal evidence supporting the proposal that dopamine transients function as temporal difference prediction errors, 2020, Nature Neuroscience
  • Dopamine, 2022, Current Biology
  • Dopamine transients do not act as model-free prediction errors during associative learning, 2020, Nature Communications

Schoenbaum has collaborated frequently with a number of researchers, including Kauê Machado Costa, Matthew Gardner, Thorsten Kahnt, Jingfeng Zhou, and Zhewei Zhang. These recurring collaborations suggest a sustained engagement in projects related to neurotransmitter functions and neural circuitry.
