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.

Responses to heartbeats in ventromedial prefrontal cortex contribute to subjective preference-based decisions

TL;DR: In ventromedial prefrontal cortex, the neural response to heartbeats, an interoceptive self-related process, influences the cortical representation of subjective value and predicts choice consistency, i.e. whether you consistently prefer Forrest Gump over Matrix over time.

The Impact of “Display‐Set” Options on Decision‐Making

TL;DR: This article examined whether a display set of visible but unavailable options can exert these same types of influences on whether or not to choose a single (target) item, and found that purchase intent is increased when the display set and target are drawn from the same category, but decreased when display and target items are mismatched, such that increasing display-target similarity increases purchase intent towards the target.

Multivariate representation of food preferences in the human brain.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the dlPFC activity does not reflect the products' value computation per se, but rather a modulatory signal which is computed in anticipation of the forthcoming product rating after stimulus presentation, and emerges only if the anticipated choices fall into the domain of primary rewards, such as foods.

Dopaminergic modulation of the exploration/exploitation trade-off in human decision-making

TL;DR: The results suggest that dopamine modulates exploration by modulating how this circuit tracks accumulating uncertainty during decision-making, and highlight the computational role of these regions in exploration.

Effects of loss aversion on the evaluation of decision outcomes

TL;DR: It is concluded that individual differences in loss aversion exert robust effects on the neural evaluation of decision outcomes and is represented in feedback ERP components, under the condition that decision outcomes had real monetary consequences for the decision makers.

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.
