Journal ArticleDOI
The reward circuit: linking primate anatomy and human imaging.
Suzanne N. Haber,Brian Knutson +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that human functional and structural imaging results map increasingly close to primate anatomy, and advances in neuroimaging techniques allow better spatial and temporal resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anticipation of increasing monetary reward selectively recruits nucleus accumbens.
TL;DR: Findings suggest that whereas other striatal areas may code for expected incentive magnitude, a region in the NAcc codes for expected positive incentive value, which is correlated with individual differences in self-reported happiness elicited by the reward cues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociation of reward anticipation and outcome with event-related fMRI
TL;DR: It is suggested that reward anticipation and outcomes may differentially recruit distinct regions that lie along the trajectory of ascending dopamine projections.
Journal ArticleDOI
FMRI visualization of brain activity during a monetary incentive delay task.
TL;DR: Results corroborate comparative studies which implicate striatal and mesial forebrain circuitry in the elaboration of incentive-driven behavior and introduce a new paradigm for probing the functional integrity of this circuitry in humans.

The Neural Basis of Financial Risk Taking
Camelia M. Kuhnen,Brian Knutson +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that distinct neural circuits linked to anticipatory affect promote different types of financial choices and indicate that excessive activation of these circuits may lead to investing mistakes.
