The neuropsychology of consumer behavior and marketing (2018, background): “The orbitofrontal cortex appears to play a role in anger (Murphy, Nimmo- Smith, & Lawrence, 2003; Vytal & Hamann, 2010), and feelings of regret after decision outcomes that differ from one’s expectations (Coricelli et al., 2005).”
The orbitofrontal cortex and beyond: from affect to decision-making. (2008, background): “In further studies, it has been shown that counterfactual effects are manifested in the human orbitofrontal cortex during expectation of outcomes, such that the anticipated affective impact of outcomes is modulated by the nature of the various possible alternative outcomes (Ursu and Carter, 2005); a”
Feeling Is for Doing: A Pragmatic Approach to the Study of Emotions in Economic Behavior (2006, background): “This is part and parcel of many current theories ( Carver, 2003 ).”
Decision-making Competence, Executive Functioning, and General Cognitive Abilities (2012, neutral): “…the dorsolateral, orbitofrontal, and ventromedial areas of the prefrontal cortex) has been claimed (e.g. Bechara, Damasio, & Damasio, 2000; Coricelli et al., 2005; Krain, Wilson, Arbuckle, Castellanos, &Milham, 2006; Rao, Korczykowski, Pluta, Hoang, & Detre, 2008).1 Thus, the research…”
A Theory of Regret Regulation 1.0 (2007, positive): “Follow-up studies with fMRI-techniques corroborated the role of the orbitofrontal cortex in specifically the experience of regret (Coricelli et al., 2005).”
Brain basis of human social interaction: from concepts to brain imaging. (2009, background): “own choice,” is mediated through the medial orbitofrontal region, and it also involves activation of areas related to biological emotions, for example, the anterior cingulate cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala (33).”
Mental fatigue: costs and benefits. (2008, background): “…maze with obstructed access to the high reward displayed a significant reduction in the number of selections of the high reward arm when the barrier was present, while the lesion had no effect on arm choice when the barrier was not present (see also Cousins and Salamone, 1994; Denk et al., 2005).”
Applying regret theory to investment choices: Currency hedging decisions (2008, positive): “Coricelli et al. (2005) measured brain activity during repeated lottery choices and showed that the experience of regret leads to regret aversion at the time of decision-making. There is also some evidence of cross-sectional differences in regret aversion across cultures or professional environments”
Affective Neuroscience: Past, Present, and Future (2009, background): “More broadly, recent brain-imaging and lesion studies have shown that these regions are explicitly involved in social behaviour including regret (Coricelli et al., 2005), and moral decisionmaking (Koenigs et al.”

Neural basis of reinforcement learning and decision making. (2012, background): “…about hypothetical or counterfactual outcomes might be processed in the same brain areas that are also involved in evaluating the actual outcomes of chosen actions, such as the prefrontal cortex (Camille et al. 2004, Coricelli et al. 2005, Boorman et al. 2011) and striatum (Lohrenz et al. 2007).”
The Functional Theory of Counterfactual Thinking (2008, background): “In the previous section, we discussed new evidence suggesting that the connection of counterfactual thinking to behavior relies in an important way on neural circuitry within the orbitofrontal cortex (Gomez-Beldarrain et al., 2005; Camille et al., 2004; Coricelli et al., 2005; Ursu & Carter, 2005).”
Neural mechanisms of autonomic, affective, and cognitive integration (2005, background): “The latter include monitoring tasks such as error processing (Hajcak et al., 2005; Critchley et al., 2005b) or processing outcomes (Corricelli et al., 2005), but also predictive, prospective, and simulatory situations, for example, anticipating the outcome of decisions (Critchley et al., 2002),…”
What We Regret Most Are Lost Opportunities: A Theory of Regret Intensity (2009, background): “, Coricelli et al., 2005; Epstude & Roese, 2008). That is, regret should facilitate the identification and enactment of behaviors that will prevent one from making the same mistake again. For example, Landman and Manis (1992) found that most people wish they had done something differently in their l”
