Evolutionary neuromarketing: darwinizing the neuroimaging paradigm for consumer behavior (2008, background): “Neuroeconomic studies have also investigated risk as measured through one's propensity for engaging in financial risk-taking in decision processing (Kühnen and Knutson, 2005; Huettel et al., 2006; Knutson and Bossaerts, 2007).”
The computational neurobiology of learning and reward. (2006, background): “In a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study of human financial decision-making, riskseeking or risk-averse choices were preceded by activation of ventral striatum or anterior insular cortex, respectively [26].”
Asymmetric learning from financial information (2013, positive): “First, information regarding gains (or positive news) and information regarding losses (or negative news) is processed by different brain centers important for the generation of emotional states and reactions (Kuhnen and Knutson (2005), Knutson and Bossaerts (2007)).”
The neural basis of empathy. (2012, background): “Indeed, these studies have also shown AI activations during the processing of risk, risk prediction error, and uncertainty in decision making (Grinband et al. 2006, Huettel et al. 2006, Kuhnen & Knutson 2005, Paulus et al. 2003, Preuschoff et al. 2008).”
The Adolescent Brain (2008, background): “In contrast, risk taking is associated with an increase in accumbens activity (Kuhnen & Knutson 2005; Matthews et al. 2004; Montague & Berns 2002) that is exaggerated in adolescents, relative to both children and adults (Ernst et al. 2005; Galvan et al. 2006).”
The Origin of Behavior (2011, background): “, 2010), including studies of loss aversion (Kuhnen and Knutson, 2005; De Martino et al., 2006; Tom et al., 2007), are beginning to identify the neural mechanisms involved in these adaptations.”
Separate Valuation Subsystems for Delay and Effort Decision Costs (2010, background): “…interacting functional systems in the brain (Rangel et al., 2008; Dreher, 2009), including neuroimaging demonstrations that distinct brain systems value delayed reward, risk, and probabilistic reward (Kuhnen and Knutson, 2005; Dreher et al., 2006; Preuschoff et al., 2006; Peters and Büchel, 2009).”
Genetic Variation in Preferences for Giving and Risk Taking (2009, background): “In the context of nancial risk-taking, Kuhnen and Knutson (2005) demonstrayed that risk-seeking is associated with activation in the nucleus accumbens, whereas risk-aversion is associated with activation in the insula.”
Reinforcement learning: the good, the bad and the ugly. (2008, positive): “There are extensive economic theories about risk, and indeed evidence from functional neuroimaging that variability may be coded in specific cortical and subcortical regions such as the insular cortex, OFC and the ventral striatum [108–112].”
Functional magnetic resonance imaging in consumer research: A review and application (2011, background): “Whereas the simultaneous appearance of two antithetical processes, such as risk aversion and risk seeking (Kuhnen & Knutson, 2005) or intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (Emonds et al., 2011), would create validity problems within a questionnaire-based survey, employing fMRI allows the researcher to…”
The Biology of Trust: Integrating Evidence From Genetics, Endocrinology, and Functional Brain Imaging (2012, positive): “Moreover, insular activation is associated with perception and processing of uncertainty, risk, and ambiguity (Critchley, Mathias, & Dolan, 2001; Huettel, Stowe, Gordon, Warner, & Platt, 2006; Kuhnen & Knutson, 2005; Krain, Wilson, Arbuckle, Castellanos, & Mil- ham, 2006).”
The 7R polymorphism in the dopamine receptor D4 gene (DRD4) is associated with financial risk taking in men (2009, background): “…striatum activation, including the nucleus accumbens, correlates with the magnitude of anticipated monetary reward and predicts risky investment decisions (Knutson, Adams, Fong, & Hommer, 2001; Knutson & Bossaerts, 2007; Knutson, Taylor, Kaufman, Peterson, & Glover, 2005; Kuhnen & Knutson, 2005).”
The adolescent brain. (2008, background): “The nucleus accumbens has been shown to increase in activity immediately prior to making risky choices on monetary-risk paradigms (Kuhnen & Knutson, 2005; Matthews et al., 2004; Montague & Berns, 2002) and as described previously, adolescents show exaggerated accumbens activity to rewarding…”
