The root of all value: a neural common currency for choice
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
A meta analysis using data from thirteen different functional magnetic resonance imaging studies published in recent years shows that the principle brain area associated with this common representation is a subregion of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC)/orbitofrontal cortex (OFC).
