Neural predictors of purchases. (2007, background): “While prior studies indicate that hemodynamic responses in the VOIs (i.e., NAcc, MPFC, insula) typically peak from 4–6 s after stimulus onset (Knutson et al., 2003), the hemodynamic response can rise as early as 2 s after stimulus onset, raising potential concerns about the separability of signals…”
Emotional perception: Meta-analyses of face and natural scene processing (2011, background): “The medial and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has a wellestablished role in emotional processing, particularly with regard to reward (Knutson et al., 2003; Phillips et al., 2003; Philips et al., 2008; Sabatinelli et al., 2007).”
Motivation concepts in behavioral neuroscience. (2004, background): “Instead, the descent into withdrawal is caused by homeostatic negative feedback changes such as the down-regulation of neurotransmitter receptors or other settling point factors [86].”
Should I stay or should I go? How the human brain manages the trade-off between exploitation and exploration (2007, background): “This areahasbeenconsistently associated with the encoding of reward value across a variety of task domains (O’Doherty et al. 2001; Knutson et al. 2003;McClure et al. 2004; Padoa-Schioppa&Assad 2006).”
Reward anticipation and outcomes in adult males with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (2008, background): “The MPFC is thought to be involved in the encoding of monetarily rewarding outcomes and therefore to modify subsequent appetitive impulses in goal-directed behavior (Knutson et al., 2003).”
Reward-motivated learning: mesolimbic activation precedes memory formation. (2006, neutral): “tions (Hommer et al., 2003; Knutson et al., 2001a, 2003 ).”
Dissociable neural representations of future reward magnitude and delay during temporal discounting (2009, positive): “Given the role of the MPFC in integrating different kinds of value information (e.g., preference, likelihood, cost; (Knutson et al., 2003, 2005, 2007; O'Doherty et al., 2003a; Plassmann et al., 2007), these regions may integrate perceived benefits and costs to potentially inform upcoming choice.”
Effort-related functions of nucleus accumbens dopamine and associated forebrain circuits (2007, neutral): “In summarizing their results in a recent PET study in humans, Knutson et al. (2003) suggested that nucleus accumbens " may provide the motivational 'engine' that fuels attainment of immediate rewards " (p 271).”
Deep Brain Stimulation to Reward Circuitry Alleviates Anhedonia in Refractory Major Depression (2008, result): “There were no 'liking' (Kornetsky, 2004) effects during stimulation, in contrast to findings reported by Heath, who observed that human self-stimulation by electrodes in subcortical structures induced extreme rewarding effects (Heath, 1972 ).”
Dissociation of neural networks for anticipation and consumption of monetary and social rewards (2010, neutral): “…cortex (Dillon et al., 2008; Knutson et al., 2003; O'Doherty et al., 2003), the thalamus (Izuma et al., 2008; Thut et al., 1997), the amygdala (Dreher et al., 2007; Hamann et al., 2004; Stoeckel et al., 2008), and the cingulate cortex (Knutson et al., 2003; Nieuwenhuis et al., 2005).”
