Brain value — recent updates

Posted Oct 07 2008 6:21pm

Current Opinion in Neurobiology now hosts a wonderful special issue on “Cognitive Neuroscience”. Well, it’s actually more narrow and to the point than this. Many of the articles are about the neurobiology of preference formation and decision making. The following articles are included:

Dissociating explicit timing from temporal expectation with fMRI
by JT Coull, AC Nobre

The neurobiology of social decision-making
by James K Rilling, Brooks King-Casas, Alan G Sanfey

Anchors, scales and the relative coding of value in the brain
by Ben Seymour, Samuel M McClure

Reinforcement learning: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
by Peter Dayan, Yael Niv

Axiomatic methods, dopamine and reward prediction error
by Andrew Caplin, Mark Dean

New insights on the subcortical representation of reward
Okihide Hikosaka, Ethan Bromberg-Martin, Simon Hong, Masayuki Matsumoto

From biophysics to cognition: reward-dependent adaptive choice behavior
by Alireza Soltani, Xiao-Jing Wang

Spiking networks for Bayesian inference and choice
by Wei Ji Ma, Jeffrey M Beck, Alexandre Pouget

No doubt: if you read these articles, you will be very much up to date with the latest developments in decision neuroscience, neuromarketing, or whatever you wish to call it. Although these articles are not explicitly part of a special issue dedicated to this theme, they nevertheless could be read as such. A wonderful update from a journal that rarely makes the headlines but deserves all the attention it can get.
