Economic choice entails assigning values to the available options and is impaired by lesions to the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC).

Since the 1950’s, prestressed concrete beams have become a factor in almost one third of all new bridge construction in the United States. In Michigan, prestressed concrete was introduced in 1954 and the first prestressed concrete side-by-side box-beam bridge was built in 1955. Pontis data indicates 2,054 side-by-side prestressed concrete box-beam bridges in Michigan; 236 are part of the Nation...
