Valuation is a key tenet of decision neuroscience, where it is generally assumed that
different attributes of competing options are assimilated into unitary values. Such values are …

Many studies have shown that the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is involved in the processing of
emotional information. However, although some lines of study showed that the OFC is also …

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

Decision makers are curious and consequently value advance information about future
events. We made use of this fact to test competing theories of value representation in area …

Remarkable progress has been made in recent years toward understanding the functions of
the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). The finding that neurons in this area encode the 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 …

Spontaneous cortical activity—ongoing activity in the absence of intentional sensory input—
has been studied extensively, using methods ranging from EEG (electroencephalography) …

Midbrain dopamine neurons are key components of the brain's reward system, which is
thought to guide reward-seeking behaviours,,. Although recent studies have shown how …

Much of traditional neuroeconomics proceeds from the hypothesis that value is reified in the
brain, that is, that there are neurons or brain regions whose responses serve the discrete …

Behaviour often depends on the ability to make categorical judgements about sensory
information acquired over time. Such judgements require a comparison of the evidence …
