Selective involvement by the medial orbitofrontal cortex in biasing risky, but not impulsive, choice.
Separate regions of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) have been implicated in mediating different aspects of cost-benefit decision-making in humans and animals. Anatomical and functional imaging studies indicate that the medial (mOFC) and lateral OFC may subserve dissociable functions related to reward and decision-making processes, yet the majority of studies in rodents have focused on the latera...
متن کاملLesions of the Orbitofrontal but Not Medial Prefrontal Cortex Affect Cognitive Judgment Bias in Rats
Neuroimaging studies in humans have recently shown that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) mediate bias in the judgment of forthcoming events. In the present study, we sought to determine whether cognitive judgment bias (CJB) is also dependent on these prefrontal regions in non-human animals. For this, we trained a cohort of rats in the ambiguous-cue interpretation (ACI)...
متن کاملSlow Inactivation Does Not Affect Movement of the Fast Inactivation Gate in Voltage-gated Na+ Channels
Voltage-gated Na+ channels exhibit two forms of inactivation, one form (fast inactivation) takes effect on the order of milliseconds and the other (slow inactivation) on the order of seconds to minutes. While previous studies have suggested that fast and slow inactivation are structurally independent gating processes, little is known about the relationship between the two. In this study, we pro...
متن کاملDoes health affect portfolio choice?
A number of recent studies find that poor health is empirically associated with a safer portfolio allocation. It is difficult to say, however, whether this relationship is truly causal. Both health status and portfolio choice are influenced by unobserved characteristics such as risk attitudes, impatience, information, and motivation, and these unobserved factors, if not adequately controlled fo...
متن کاملDoes Culture Affect Economic Outcomes?
U ntil recently, economists have been reluctant to rely on culture as a possible determinant of economic phenomena. Much of this reluctance stems from the very notion of culture: it is so broad and the channels through which it can enter economic discourse so ubiquitous (and vague) that it is difficult to design testable, refutable hypotheses. Without testable hypotheses, however, there is no r...
