How the brain processes information when making decisions depends on how that
information is stored. Distinct neural circuits are capable of storing information in many …

Decision neuroscience research, as currently practiced, employs the methods of
neuroscience to investigate concepts drawn from the social sciences. A typical study selects …

Neuroeconomics is the study of the neurobiological and computational basis of value-based
decision making. Its goal is to provide a biologically based account of human behaviour that …

Few aspects of human cognition are more personal than the choices we make. Our
decisions—from the mundane to the impossibly complex—continually shape the courses of …

Despite substantial advances, the question of how we make decisions and judgments
continues to pose important challenges for scientific research. Historically, different …

Neuroeconomics studies the neurobiological and computational basis of value-based
decision-making. Its goal is to provide a biologically-based account of human behavior that …

Neuroeconomics has produced a number of insights into economics, psychology, and
neuroscience in its relatively short existence. Here, I show how neuroeconomics can inform …

Value-based decision making relies on distributed neural systems that weigh the benefits of
actions against the cost required to obtain a given outcome. Perturbations of these systems …

Neuroeconomic methods combine behavioral economic experiments to parameterize
aspects of reward-related decision-making with neuroimaging techniques to record …

The brain uses a mixture of distributed and modular organization to perform computations
and generate appropriate actions. While the principles under which the brain might perform …
