| book description |

Decision Neuroscience: An Integrative Perspective, Second Edition, Volume Two presents the most recent and compelling lesional, neuroimaging, electrophysiological, and computational studies in combination with hormonal and genetic studies that have led to a clearer understanding of the neural mechanisms behind reward and decision-making. The neural bases of reward and decision-making processes are of critical interest to scientists because of the fundamental role that reward plays in a number of behavioral processes (such as motivation learning, and cognition), and because the neural bases have theoretical and clinical implications for understanding dysfunctions of the dopaminergic system in several neurological and psychiatric disorders. This book provides a comprehensive update on groundbreaking work that addresses fundamental questions about the nature of behavior, including how does the brain process reward and how does it make decisions when facing multiple options? It features entirely new content, as well as expanded coverage on drug and behavioral addiction and the role of subthalamus stimulation in neurological disorders and neuroeconomics.
