Why we cite it

An edited textbook of neuroeconomics: 27 chapters across five parts, in its account synthesizing two decades of research on how the brain makes decisions. It covers the fundamental tools from economics, psychology, and neuroscience; neural representations of value, risk, time, and social preferences; reinforcement learning; mechanisms of choice; and social decision-making, including the common neural currency hypothesis (vmPFC encodes subjective value across different goods on a single scale) and the multiple-controllers model (Pavlovian, habitual, goal-directed).
