TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used functional MRI to characterize activation in the amygdala, ventral prefrontal cortex (vPFC), and striatum, three structures involved in socio-emotional processing in adolescents with ASD.

TL;DR: High-resolution magic angle spinning proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ex vivo data suggest that SPS selectively attenuates excitatory tone, without a disruption of neuronal integrity, in the mPFC.

TL;DR: Conjunction analysis showed significant overlap in mPFC and PCC for the main effects of subjective value and stimulus type, indicating these regions may serve multiple distinct roles during intertemporal decision‐making.

TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging and a multiround economic exchange game are coupled to probe mentalizing, the social-cognitive ability to attribute mental states to others, and those with human partners elicited less activation of medial prefrontal cortex in generalized social anxiety patients compared with matched healthy control participants.

TL;DR: Despite some challenges associated with incorporating neuroscience into research on consumer decision processes, the use of neuroscience paradigms will produce a deeper understanding of decision making that can lead to the development of more effective decision aids and interventions.
