Disclosing information about the self is intrinsically rewarding
Humans devote 30–40% of speech output solely to informing others of their own subjective
experiences. What drives this propensity for disclosure? Here, we test recent theories that …

Reward value comparison via mutual inhibition in ventromedial prefrontal cortex
Recent theories suggest that reward-based choice reflects competition between value
signals in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC). We tested this idea by recording …
