An automatic valuation system in the human brain: evidence from functional neuroimaging.

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.

Frontal cortex and reward-guided learning and decision-making.

TL;DR: This work attempts to identify common themes in experiments with human participants and with animal models which suggest roles that the areas play in learning about reward associations, selecting reward goals, choosing actions to obtain reward, and monitoring the potential value of switching to alternative courses of action.
Journal ArticleDOI

Informatic parcellation of the network involved in the computation of subjective value.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of a large set of functional magnetic resonance imaging studies of value computation to address several key questions, demonstrating the centrality of ventromedial prefrontal cortex, ventral striatum and posterior cingulate cortex in the computation of value across tasks, reward modalities and stages of the decision-making process.
Journal ArticleDOI

The neurobiology of rewards and values in social decision making

TL;DR: This Review outlines a theoretical framework that may help to identify possible overlaps and differences between the neural processes that guide social and non-social decision making.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurophysiology of Performance Monitoring and Adaptive Behavior

TL;DR: The neurophysiology of evaluating action course and outcome with respect to their valence is reviewed, i.e., reward and punishment, and initiating short- and long-term adaptations, learning, and decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI

What the orbitofrontal cortex does not do

TL;DR: The proposed roles for OFC are considered, critically examining the level of support for these claims and highlighting the data that call them into question.

Dissociable roles of ventral and dorsal striatum in instrumental conditioning

TL;DR: This work scanned human participants with functional magnetic resonance imaging while they engaged in instrumental conditioning to suggest partly dissociable contributions of the ventral and dorsal striatum to the critic and the actor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abstract reward and punishment representations in the human orbitofrontal cortex.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that one emotional involvement of the human orbitofrontal cortex is its representation of the magnitudes of abstract rewards and punishments, such as receiving or losing money.
Journal ArticleDOI

A framework for studying the neurobiology of value-based decision making

TL;DR: A framework to investigate different aspects of the neurobiology of decision making is proposed to bring together recent findings in the field, highlight some of the most important outstanding problems, define a common lexicon that bridges the different disciplines that inform neuroeconomics, and point the way to future applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

The neural correlates of subjective value during intertemporal choice

TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging is used to show that neural activity in several brain regions—particularly the ventral striatum, medial prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate cortex—tracks the revealed subjective value of delayed monetary rewards.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-control in decision-making involves modulation of the vmPFC valuation system

TL;DR: Two hypotheses about the neurobiology of self-control are proposed: (i) Goal-directed decisions have their basis in a common value signal encoded in ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), and (ii) exercising self- control involves the modulation of this value signal by dorsolateral cortex (DLPFC).
