Modeling the interplay between affect and deliberation. (2015, background): “Tom et al. (2007) collected fMRI data while subjects decided whether to accept or reject gambles that involved a chance to win or lose various amounts of money.”

The Computation of Stimulus Values in Simple Choice (2014, background): “…dlPFC, vSTR and Amygdala in Simple Choice Some studies find that neural responses in some areas are correlated with SVs at the time of choice in a NEUROECONOMICS way that is not easily attributable to arousal, attentional, motor, or prediction error confounds (Litt et al., 2011; Tom et al., 2007).”

Anticipatory affect: neural correlates and consequences for choice (2008, neutral): “One way of accounting for this asymmetry involves assuming a single neural mechanism in which high levels of activity promote approach, while low levels of activity promote avoidance (Tom et al. 2007).”
Placebo and nocebo effects are defined by opposite opioid and dopaminergic responses. (2008, result): “Similar effects have been observed in recent work examining the human response to potential gains and losses in a gambling task using functional MRI as a measure of synaptic activity.(65) Potential gains increased the neural activity of the dorsal and ventral striatum, orbitofrontal cortex, and rost”
