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.

The primate basal ganglia: parallel and integrative networks

TL;DR: The basal ganglia and frontal cortex operate together to execute goal directed behaviors, and action decision-making processes are influenced by motivation and cognitive inputs, allowing the animal to respond appropriate to environmental cues.

A lifespan database of adult facial stimuli.

TL;DR: A database of 575 individual faces ranging from ages 18 to 93 is described, developed to be more representative of age groups across the lifespan, with a special emphasis on recruiting older adults.

Neural Correlates of Behavioral Preference for Culturally Familiar Drinks

TL;DR: A consistent neural response in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex was reported that correlated with subjects' behavioral preferences for Coke and Pepsi and brand knowledge for one of the drinks had a dramatic influence on expressed behavioral preferences and on the measured brain responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

The human visual cortex

TL;DR: Recent findings and methods employed to uncover the functional properties of the human visual cortex focusing on two themes: functional specialization and hierarchical processing are reviewed.

Cultural Recycling of Cortical Maps

- 25 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: A neuronal recycling hypothesis is proposed, according to which cultural inventions invade evolutionarily older brain circuits and inherit many of their structural constraints.
