The role of the human ventral striatum and the medial orbitofrontal cortex in the representation of reward magnitude–An activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis …
Reward maximization is a core motivation of every organism. In humans, several brain
regions have been implicated in the representation of reward magnitude. Still, it is unclear …
