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.

Motivation and self-regulation: The role of want-to motivation in the processes underlying self-regulation and self-control

TL;DR: In this paper, motivation plays an integral role in self-regulation, and the authors propose that pursuing goals because you want to (vs. have-to) is associated with better goal attainment as a function of experiencing less temptations and obstacles.

Medial prefrontal cortex: Adding value to imagined scenarios

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the mPFC plays a role in constructing the subjective value of the components of imagined scenarios and thus potentially in reconstructing the value of components of autobiographical recollection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Taking a different perspective: Mindset influences neural regions that represent value and choice

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that changing perspectives can modulate value- and choice-related neural activity in neural regions while participants were primed with Health or Taste while they made decisions about snack foods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of vmPFC on dmPFC Predicts Valence-Guided Belief Formation.

TL;DR: These neurocircuit interactions support the notion that the motivation to maximize pleasant beliefs reinforces those cognitive processes that are most likely to yield the desired conclusion, and confirm that belief updates are indeed optimistically biased.
Journal ArticleDOI

The importance of actions and the worth of an object: dissociable neural systems representing core value and economic value

TL;DR: These findings suggest mechanisms by which core values, as motivationally important long-term goals anchored in the self-schema, may have the behavioral power to drive decisions and behaviors in the absence of immediately rewarding behavioral options.

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.
