Neural Mechanisms Behind Immediate and Delayed Reward Decisions

Neural Mechanisms Behind Immediate and Delayed Reward Decisions

The study finds that two different neural systems are involved in making decisions about immediate versus delayed monetary rewards: the limbic system is more active when choosing immediate rewards, while the lateral prefrontal and parietal cortices are engaged regardless of delay.

    【神経科学視点からでも人間の殆どが非合理的な選択をしている】 以前紹介したお金を今貰うか、後で多く貰うか?研究で、被験者をMRIにぶち込んで脳の活性化を観察 お金を貰えるのを先延ばしにできる人は「合理的」(※自身の認識では)という言うことがわかる https://t.co/leERLDGJ1K

Abstract Synopsis

  • The study finds that two different neural systems are involved in making decisions about immediate versus delayed monetary rewards: the limbic system is more active when choosing immediate rewards, while the lateral prefrontal and parietal cortices are engaged regardless of delay.
  • The limbic system's activity reflects the brain's valuation of immediate rewards, whereas the frontoparietal regions are involved in processing choices about longer-term rewards, with their activity increasing when individuals opt for delayed options.
  • Overall, the neural balance between these systems influences decision-making, with greater frontoparietal activity linked to preferences for larger, delayed rewards.
