TLDR
It is verified that brain regions encoding preferences can valuate various categories of objects and further test whether they still express preferences when attention is diverted to another task.

Neural signatures of social conformity: A coordinate-based activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis of functional brain imaging studies

TL;DR: A coordinate-based meta-analysis on neuroimaging studies of social conformity revealed a convergence of reported activation foci in regions associated with normative decision-making, including ventral striatum (VS), dorsal posterior medial frontal cortex (dorsal pMFC), and anterior insula (AI).

Neural Mechanisms of Reading Facial Emotions in Young and Older Adults

TL;DR: Greater vmPFC activity in the present study may reflect greater affective processing involved in reading happy compared to neutral or angry faces, and greater dmP FC activity may reflect more cognitive control involved in decoding and/or regulating negative emotions associated with neutral or happy than happy, and older than young, faces.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-Control as Value-Based Choice

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a simple valuation process, where self-control is implemented by a simple value-based choice process, which is the process of accumulating varied sources of subjective value for each choice option, then comparing the values to select an action.
Journal ArticleDOI

The multifaceted abstract brain.

TL;DR: It is suggested that different types of abstract concepts can be represented and grounded through differing contributions from event-based, interoceptive, introspective and sensory-motor representations, and argued against single-mechanism accounts for representation.

Neural Activity Reveals Preferences Without Choices.

TL;DR: The authors investigate the feasibility of inferring the choices people would make (if given the opportunity) based on their neural responses to the pertinent prospects when they are not engaged in actual decision making, and formulate prediction models relating choices to "nonchoice" neural responses, and use them to predict out-of-sample choices for new items and for new groups of individuals.

Theory of Games and Economic Behavior

TL;DR: Theory of games and economic behavior as mentioned in this paper is the classic work upon which modern-day game theory is based, and it has been widely used to analyze a host of real-world phenomena from arms races to optimal policy choices of presidential candidates, from vaccination policy to major league baseball salary negotiations.

Parallel Organization of Functionally Segregated Circuits Linking Basal Ganglia and Cortex

TL;DR: The basal ganglia serve primarily to integrate diverse inputs from the entire cerebral cortex and to "funnel" these influences, via the ventrolateral thalamus, to the motor cortex.

A perspective on judgment and choice: Mapping bounded rationality.

TL;DR: Determinants and consequences of accessibility help explain the central results of prospect theory, framing effects, the heuristic process of attribute substitution, and the characteristic biases that result from the substitution of nonextensional for extensional attributes.

The Neural Basis of Decision Making

TL;DR: This work focuses on simple decisions that can be studied in the laboratory but emphasize general principles likely to extend to other settings, including deliberation and commitment.

Separate Neural Systems Value Immediate and Delayed Monetary Rewards

TL;DR: The authors examined the neural correlates of time discounting while subjects made a series of choices between monetary reward options that varied by delay to delivery and demonstrated that two separate systems are involved in such decisions.
