Mirror neurons encode the subjective value of an observed action.
Objects grasped by an agent have a value not only for the acting agent, but also for an individual observing the grasping act. The value that the observer attributes to the object that is grasped can be pivotal for selecting a possible behavioral response. Mirror neurons in area F5 of the monkey premotor cortex have been suggested to play a crucial role in the understanding of action goals. How...
متن کاملAmygdala neurons differentially encode motivation and reinforcement.
Lesion studies demonstrate that the basolateral amygdala complex (BLA) is important for assigning motivational significance to sensory stimuli, but little is known about how this information is encoded. We used in vivo electrophysiology procedures to investigate how the amygdala encodes motivating and reinforcing properties of cues that induce reinstatement of reward-seeking behavior. Two group...
متن کاملDifferential effects of inactivation of the right and left basolateral amygdala on spatial memory in place avoidance task in rats
There is strong evidence that two cerebral hemispheres are differentially involved in emotional memory and that amygdala is a key subcortical structure for emotional experience. The present research investigated the possible involvement of lateralization of basolateral amygdala (BLA) and central amygdala (CEA) in place avoidance memory. For this purpose, male Long-Evans rats (280-320 g) were im...

Value We used the following juices, listed in roughly decreasing order of preference (associated colors in parenthesis): high-sugar lemon Kool-Aid (dark yellow), grape juice (bright green), fruit punch (magenta), apple juice (diluted to 1/2 with water, dark green), cranberry juice (diluted to 1/3 or 1/4 with water, pink), water (white), milk (red), peppermint tea (bright blue), tea (light brown...
متن کاملNeurons in Orbitofrontal Cortex Encode Economic Value
Economic choice is the behavior observed when individuals select one of multiple options available in alternative to each other. In economic choice, there is no intrinsically “correct” answer; the choice depends on subjective preferences. This behavior is traditionally the object of economic analysis1 and is also of primary interest in psychology2. However, the underlying mental processes and n...
