Traditionally the object of economic theory and experimental psychology, economic choice
recently became a lively research focus in systems neuroscience. Here I summarize the …

Economic choice behavior entails the computation and comparison of subjective values. A
central contribution of neuroeconomics has been to show that subjective values are …

While making economic choices, individuals assign subjective values to the available
options. Values computed in different behavioral conditions, however, can vary substantially …

Economic goods may vary on multiple dimensions (determinants). A central conjecture in
decision neuroscience is that choices between goods are made by comparing subjective …

Investigation into the neural and computational bases of decision-making has proceeded in
two parallel but distinct streams. Perceptual decision-making (PDM) is concerned with how …

Recent work in neuroeconomics has shown that regions in orbitofrontal and medial
prefrontal cortex encode the subjective value of different options during choice. However …

Economic choice is the behavior observed when individuals select one of many available
options solely based on subjective preferences. Behavioral evidence suggests that …

How do humans make choices between different types of rewards? Economists have long
argued on theoretical grounds that humans typically make these choices as if the values of …

We draw on outstanding research (Sanfey et al.,; McCabe,; Bernheim,; Camerer,; Radu and
McClure,; Declerck and Boone,) to substantiate that neuroeconomics covers the …

Neuronal recordings and lesion studies indicate that key aspects of economic decisions take
place in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). Previous work identified in this area three groups of …
