MIT McGovern Institute for Brain ResearchMIT McGovern Institute for Brain Research - March Issue 2021

Our lab's work was mentioned at MIT in the Spring Issue of BrainScan in an article by Jennifer Michalowski (2021).

The pursuit of reward

"Since the study indicates the brain still can anticipate potential rewards, Geddes is now exploring whether other sources of motivation, such as social rewards, might more effectively increase healthful decisions and behaviors in older adults."
