متن کاملWhen desire collides with reason: functional interactions between anteroventral prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens underlie the human ability to resist impulsive desires.
Human decisions are guided by "desire" or "reason," which control actions oriented toward either proximal or long-term goals.
