#NeuroEconomics

Spearheaded by the unstoppable Leili Mortazavi with Elnaz Ghasemi and Charlene C. Wu , this culminates > 15 years of work!
The findings imply that some #FMRI findings are more robust than commonly thought (with respect to reliability, validity, and generalizability).
Special thanks to the editors and reviewers at PNAS Nexus and for support from Stanford University 's #Neurochoice Initiative and the #ToyotaResearchInstitute ! (#AffectiveNeuroscience , #Neuroeconomics )

A new thinkpiece on Policy Consequences of the New Neuroeconomics Framework.

We argue that #neuroscience provides a framework to build new models in #microeconomics with actual #policy consequences.

Intracranial electrical stimulation of the #AnteriorInsula decreases risky choice by increasing loss salience, but of the #MedialPrefrontalCortex increases risky choice by decreasing loss salience (causally supporting #AnticipatoryAffect predictions; #Neuroeconomics; #AffectiveNeuroscience):

Catharine Winstanley of #UniversityofBritishColumbia updates the #Stanford Neuroscience crowd on how incidental cues promote risky gambling -- in #rats! (#AnticipatoryAffect , #AffectiveNeuroscience , #Neuroeconomics )

Pleased and honored to appear on the @danafoundation panel on "How the brain decides" with colleagues @StephanieGroman@twitter.com and Paul Glimcher. We had fun contemplating the past and future of #DecisionNeuroscience (#Neuroeconomics)...

Well, that was fun! Thanks to my wonderful #neuroeconomics colleagues and our adroit interviewer! ( video to be posted at @danafoundation )

Fascinating @neurochoice presentation by #NeirEshel on the #neuroeconomics of striatal #dopamine (23.12.12):

_BRAIN$?_ is out!
Where I comment that while #neuroeconomics researchers have met historical goals of using brain activity to predict and even forecast choice, the goalposts may have shifted (#neuroforecasting)...

Electrical #stimulation of the human #brain can influence risky choice -- ventral Medial PreFrontal Cortex (#MPFC) stimulation increases risky choice, but Anterior Insula (#AIns) stimulation decreases it (#NeuroEconomics , #affectiveneuroscience , #preprint):

Reversing #climatechange will require everyone's ideas, input, and effort…
so I feel excited and honored to join colleagues in contemplating how we can leverage #neuroscience to address #ClimateChange (at #NatureClimateChange).
We consider both how climate influences brain function and how brain function (and associated choice) might influence climate (#neuroeconomics , #neuroforecasting , #sfn2023)…

Excited for #SfN23 this year! 🧠 🐭🧠🐭🧠🐭🧠 Come by our linked posters Sunday Morning OO21-24 to see some of the new collaborations in #NeuroEconomics that have been developing at Mount Sinai!

Congratulations to incoming #SocietyForNeuroeconomics President (and former #spanlab denizen) @uma_karma, and also council members Levy, Ruff, and Tusche!
#Neuroeconomics is in good hands...

Excited to share our _open access_ paper in Nature Neuroscience investigating the role of the rat frontal and parietal cortices in economic decisions under risk.

nature.com/articles/s41593-023

We found that silencing the frontal orienting field (FOF) in rat secondary motor cortex increased risk-aversion and we could decode the value of the lottery on each trial from the population activity of the FOF.

p.s. We are looking to hire a postdoc to work in mice models of economic (esp. strategic) decisions. Message me if you will be at SFN and would be interested in working at the amazing @SWC_Neuro

#Neuroeconomics gang out on the #Capilano Bridge, hoping to leverage misattribution of arousal to publish more papers... (#SNE2023)

Very much looking forward to attending #SNE2024 (#Neuroeconomics) in Vancouver *in person* --- and also to discussing new findings related to #neuroforecasting changing demand for sustainable vehicles at the #ConsumerNeuroscience preconference tomorrow!
Hope to see some of you there...

I'm at the #sne2024 #NeuroEconomics conference in Vancouver this weekend. Anyone attending, come find me and let's talk science!
