A common role of insula in feelings, empathy and uncertainty. (2009, neutral): “Imaging studies report increased AI signals when making risky decisions (gambles) compared to safe decisions [13] and in response to increasing task ‘instability’ [30], complexity [31] and ambiguity [ 11 ], which engender uncertainty through lack of knowledge.”
Neural differentiation of expected reward and risk in human subcortical structures. (2006, background): “... elsewhere in the brain (our data suggest that insula may play a role)? If so, how are the signals of expected reward and risk combined in order to guide decisions? What is the role of the delayed risk signal in subcortical dopaminoceptive areas? Is it used to improve learning, as suggested by To”
Human Insula Activation Reflects Risk Prediction Errors As Well As Risk (2008, background): “…riskrelated activations in insula (Elliott et al., 2000; Critchley et al., 2001; Ernst et al., 2002; Paulus et al., 2003; Hsu et al., 2005; Huettel et al., 2005, 2006; Grinband et al., 2006), the neural responses to risk prediction errors have not been reported, nor has their occurrence…”
Anticipatory affect: neural correlates and consequences for choice (2008, neutral): “…contrasts that focused only on risk (i.e. in which models focused on probability rather than magnitude; Volz et al. 2003, 2004; Fukui et al. 2005; Huettel et al. 2006), as well as studies that included a dynamic learning component (i.e. in which anticipation of gain or loss changed over time;…”
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).”
Event-related potential studies of outcome processing and feedback-guided learning (2012, background): “In the past decade neuroimaging studies have contributed enormously to identifying brain regions and patterns of functional connectivity supporting outcome processing in the human brain (e.g., Delgado et al., 2000, 2003; Breiter et al., 2001; Elliott et al., 2003; O’Doherty et al., 2003b; Ullsperger”
Neural basis of reinforcement learning and decision making. (2012, background): “Similarly, the brain areas known to increase their activity during decision making under ambiguity, such as the lateral prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, and amygdala, might also be involved in optimizing the learning rate (Hsu et al. 2005, Huettel et al. 2006).”
Decision making in recurrent neuronal circuits. (2008, background): “Some studies aimed at identifying distinct brain systems that are recruited by different types of uncertainty (Yu and Dayan, 2005; Hsu et al., 2005; Huettel et al., 2006; Behrens et al., 2007).”
Functional Neuroimaging of Intertemporal Choice Models: A Review (2010, result): “These regions largely overlapped with those reported in previous studies of risky choice (Dickhaut et al., 2003; Hsu et al., 2005; Huettel et al., 2006; Kuhnen & Knutson, 2005; Paulus, Rogalsky, Simmons, Feinstein, & Stein, 2003; Rogers et al., 1999).”
Expected Utility with Uncertain Probabilities Theory (2017, positive): “Furthermore, it has been found that neural responses to second-order uncertainty (ambiguity) are associated with brain areas (e.g., Huettel et al. (2006), Bach et al. (2009) and Bach et al. (2011)) that are distinct from those supporting first-order uncertainty (e.g., Dreher et al. (2006),…”
Surprise signals in anterior cingulate cortex: Neuronal encoding of unsigned reward prediction errors driving adjustment in behavior (2011, background): “These data demonstrate that monkeys distinguish between risky and ambiguous forms of uncertainty, and, like humans, are reluctant to choose gambles with uncertain probabilities (Ellsberg, 1961; Fox and Tversky, 1995; Hsu et al., 2005; Huettel et al., 2006; Hayden et al., 2010).”
Neural correlates of voluntary and involuntary risk taking in the human brain: An fMRI Study of the Balloon Analog Risk Task (BART) (2008, background): “…have consistently demonstrated the involvement of mesolimbic-frontal regions in decisionmaking (Matthews et al., 2004; Hsu et al., 2005; Kuhnen and Knutson 2005;Huettel et al., 2006; Preuschoff et al., 2006), few if any studies have dissociated the neural substrates of risk from decision-making.”
