This study shows that dopamine agonists combined with levodopa increase risky choices in Parkinson's patients even without reward-paired cues.

The paper investigates how audiovisual cues affect risky decision-making in gambling tasks and finds increased anterior insula activity during cued risky wins.

This study shows that inhibiting LC-NA neurons accelerates risk-taking decision strategies and enhances motor impulsivity in female rats during a gambling task.

The paper examines how short-term memory and chronic stress influence cognitive effort choices under varying reward and effort conditions.

This study investigates how accumbal cholinergic interneurons (aCINs) influence decision making and motor impulsivity in the rat gambling task, showing sex-specific effects based on task state.

The paper investigates how short-term memory ability influences cognitive effort deployment for reward in humans, finding it is the strongest predictor compared to depression, stress, and reward anticipation.

The paper uses computational modeling in rats to identify decision-making strategies underlying cognitive effort, revealing distinct subgroups and neurotransmitter effects on attention and choice behavior.

This study investigates how reward-paired sensory cues affect risk-taking behavior in humans, finding they promote riskier choices and increase arousal.
