Frederic Stoll, PhD

Dr Stoll joined the department of Neurosicence at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in 2015 as a Post-doctoral fellow and was promoted to Instructor in 2020. Dr Stoll obtained in PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Lyon (France), where he worked on the neural dynamics underlying exploratory behavior in animals and humans.

Dr Stoll is interested in understanding the neural bases of decision-making and foraging. More specifically, he is focused on understanding how parts of the prefrontal cortex communicate when we have to decide in a flexible and efficient manner, and also how more distant areas are involved in the implementation of such decisions.
