Establishing a function for the neuromodulator serotonin in human decision-making has
proved remarkably difficult because if its complex role in reward and punishment …

While accumulating evidence suggests that effective real-life decision-making depends
upon the functioning of the orbitofrontal cortex, much less is known about the involvement of …

Some people love taking risks, while others avoid gambles at all costs. The neural
mechanisms underlying individual variation in preference for risky or certain outcomes …

Impairment in the serotonergic system has been linked to action choices that are less
advantageous in a long run. Such impulsive choices can be caused by a deficit in linking a …

The ability to select an action by considering both delays and amount of reward outcome is
critical for survival and well‐being of animals and humans. Previous animal experiments …

The neuromodulator serotonin has been implicated in a large number of affective and
executive functions, but its precise contribution to motivation remains unclear. One influential …

Previous animal experiments have shown that serotonin is involved in the control of
impulsive choice, as characterized by high preference for small immediate rewards over …

Neurophysiological experiments in primates, alongside neuropsychological and functional
magnetic resonance investigations in humans, have significantly enhanced our …

To make good decisions, humans need to learn about and integrate different sources of
appetitive and aversive information. While serotonin has been linked to value-based …

Risky decision-making involves weighing good and bad outcomes against their probabilities
in order to determine the relative values of candidate actions. Although human decision …
