The nematode worm <i>C. elegans</i> chooses between bacterial foods as if maximizing economic utility

2021-04-26

Abstract excerpt

In value-based decision making, options are selected according to subjective values assigned by the individual to available goods and actions. Despite the importance of this faculty of the mind, the neural mechanisms of value assignments, and how choices are directed by them, remain obscure. To investigate this problem, we used a classic measure of utility maximization, the Generalized Axiom of Revealed Preference...
