Amygdala signals subjective appetitiveness and aversiveness of mixed gambles.
People are more sensitive to losses than to equivalent gains when making financial decisions. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to illuminate how the amygdala contributes to loss aversion. The blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) response of the amygdala was mapped while healthy individuals were responding to 50/50 gambles with varying potential gain and loss amounts. Overall,...
متن کاملMixed Signals
Plans for European Monetary Union are based on the conventional postulate that increasing the independence of the central bank can reduce inflation without any real economic effects. However, the theoretical and empirical bases for this claim rest on models of the economy that make unrealistic information assumptions and omit institutional variables other than the central bank. When the signali...
متن کاملAversiveness of carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide can produce aversive stimulation of the upper airways, and in their recent review Conlee et al. (2005) emphasized: ‘y Leach et al. (2002) concluded that CO2, either alone or in combination with argon, cannot be used humanely at any concentration and is therefore unacceptable as a euthanasia agent for laboratory rodents, particularly when more humane methods exist. The findings of...
متن کاملAversiveness of carbon dioxide.
We are grateful to Dr Ronald Wood for providing in his letter in the July issue (Wood 2005) his expert views and methodologies that could potentially be used in future to test the behavioural effects of airborne contaminants and irritants. Dr Wood seems to accept in his letter that carbon dioxide is aversive but he is unsure how aversive, and believes that it can be safely and humanely used in ...
متن کاملUncovering the neurochemistry of reward and aversiveness
In a recent issue of Science was published an interesting report regarding the role of dopaminergic neurons on reward and aversiveness (Fiorillo, 2013). In contrast to what is claimed by some physiological and computational models (e.g., Schultz et al., 1997), the author provides a number of arguments to support the suggestion that reward and punishment have to be considered as two distinct neu...
