Abstract Information about potential rewards in the environment is essential for guiding
adaptive behavior, and understanding neural reward processes may provide insights into …

Whether maximizing rewards and minimizing punishments rely on distinct brain systems
remains debated, given inconsistent results coming from human neuroimaging and animal …

OBJECTIVE Stereotactic electroencephalography (sEEG) is an increasingly utilized method
for identifying electrophysiological processes underlying sensorimotor, cognitive, and …

Choosing whether to exert effort to obtain rewards is fundamental to human motivated
behavior. However, the neural dynamics underlying the evaluation of reward and effort in …

Rewards are known to influence neural activity associated with both motor preparation and
execution. This influence can be exerted directly upon the primary motor (M1) and …

Neurophysiological work in primates and rodents have shown the amygdala plays a central
role in reward processing through connectivity with the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and …

Animals choose a course of action countless times each day. To do so, they need to
prioritise their behaviour within a set of alternative actions and decide which of these actions …

Human behavior is strongly influenced by anticipation, but the underlying neural
mechanisms are poorly understood. We obtained intracranial electrocephalography (iEEG) …

High-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) has been shown to
modulate decision-making; however, the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this …

Background: Suicide is one of the leading causes of premature death, and dysfunctional
reward processing may serve as a potential mechanism. However, effective treatment …
