The Brain Is not “As-If” – Taking Stock of the Neuroscientific Approach on Decision Making

TL;DR: Neuroeconomics as mentioned in this paper is a new discipline devoted to addressing exactly this question by means of interdisciplinary endeavors, which aims to promote interdisciplinary collaborations on the topics lying at the intersection of the brain and decision sciences in the hope of advancing both theory and research in decision making.

Assessing value representation in animals

TL;DR: Alternative measures of expected outcome value in animals are considered, which are critical to understand the behavioral and neurobiological mechanisms relating the representation of the expected outcome to the organization of the behavior oriented towards its obtention.

Reactivation of pain-related patterns in the hippocampus from single past episodes relates to successful memory-based decision making

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that single incidental aversive experiences can build reliable memories that affect decision making and that this influence may be supported by the hippocampus.

Nature vs Nurture and Science vs Art of Publishing, Life and Everything Else

TL;DR: This article showed that the best decision we can make, with regards to the selection of articles by journals and in a subsequent paper, with respect to school admissions, requires us to formulate a cutoff point, or, a region of optimal performance and randomly select from within that region of better results.

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.
