Dorsomedial and ventromedial prefrontal cortex lesions differentially impact social influence and temporal discounting
The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is involved in economic and social decision-making in humans but the specific functions of its subregions are not clear. This study shows that the dorsal mPFC is ca...

Excited to share our preprint on variability in patch leaving decisions! Check out the 🧵 below
🧪Preprint!
How foragers depart from optimal models can tell us a lot about how they compute their decisions.
A strong but underexplored departure is that foragers widely vary when they leave identical patches.

🌎 New paper in @commspsychol.nature.com 🌍
doi.org/10.1038/s442...
There is an urgent need to choose behaviours that mitigate climate change, but these are often more effortful. Can we increase pro-environmental motivation?
Joint w/ Luis Sebastian Contreras-Huerta & amazing international team 👇🧵

Basis functions for complex social decisions in dorsomedial frontal cortex - Nature
A study combining group decision-making tasks with fMRI shows that the brain’s dorsomedial prefrontal cortex uses basis functions, similar to those in the visual, motor and spatial domains, to represent patterns of social interaction.

People with higher incomes and people who describe themselves as “living comfortably” are more likely to report donating, volunteering, and helping strangers than people with lower incomes and people who are merely “getting by.” In PNAS Nexus: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...
