Understanding psychiatric disorder by capturing ecologically relevant features of learning and decision-making.

TL;DR: It is proposed that using computational models with tasks that capture ecologically relevant learning and decision‐making processes may provide a critical advantage for capturing the mechanisms underlying symptoms of disorders in psychiatry.

Dopamine D2-receptor blockade enhances decoding of prefrontal signals in humans

TL;DR: Results suggest that D2-receptor blockade enhances content-specific representations in frontal cortex, presumably by a dopamine-mediated increase in pattern separation, in line with a dual-state model of prefrontal dopamine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activity in Inferior Parietal and Medial Prefrontal Cortex Signals the Accumulation of Evidence in a Probability Learning Task

TL;DR: It is concluded that activity in inferior parietal and medial prefrontal cortex reflects the amount of evidence accumulated in favor of competing and uncertain outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Automatic processing of political preferences in the human brain.

TL;DR: It is shown that the automatic preference-related processing in the brain extended to real-world behavior that involved actual financial loss to participants and indicates that brain responses triggered by unattended and task-irrelevant political images reflect individual political preferences at different levels of abstraction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Over a Decade of Neuroeconomics: What Have We Learned?:

TL;DR: This paper reviewed some of the major topics that have emerged in neuroeconomics and highlighted findings that they believe will form the basis for future applications to economics, when possible, focusing on existing applications and future directions for that research.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
