The neurobiology of rewards and values in social decision making
How does our brain choose the best course of action? Choices between material goods are
thought to be steered by neural value signals that encode the rewarding properties of the …

Common and distinct networks underlying reward valence and processing stages: a meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging studies
To better understand the reward circuitry in human brain, we conducted activation likelihood
estimation (ALE) and parametric voxel-based meta-analyses (PVM) on 142 neuroimaging …

The neuroscience of social decision-making
Given that we live in highly complex social environments, many of our most important
decisions are made in the context of social interactions. Simple but sophisticated tasks from …

Neuroanatomical and neurochemical bases of theory of mind
This paper presents a novel neurobiological model of theory of mind (ToM) that incorporates
both neuroanatomical and neurochemical levels of specificity. Within this model, cortical and …

Social neuroeconomics: the neural circuitry of social preferences
Combining the methods of neuroscience and economics generates powerful tools for
studying the brain processes behind human social interaction. We argue that hedonic …
