Work on 'brain's reward system' wins scientists ₹7 crore
Three UK-based scientists won a €1 million (over ₹7crore) prize for studying the brain's reward system. Scientists Wolfram Schultz, Peter Dayan and Ray Dolan studied how the brain responds to reward-giving situations like getting a promotion or buying a new car.
