This study shows primate amygdala neurons encode subjective values consistent with economic choice theory, integrating reward probability and magnitude into decision-making.

The paper shows that dopamine neurons in monkeys encode subjective reward value by integrating utility and subjectively weighted probability, aligning with observed choice behavior.

This study compares risky choices between humans and monkeys, finding comparable decision-making patterns despite differences in subjective values.

The paper shows that neural dynamics in monkey premotor cortex are shared between action execution and observation, with spatial features more accurately encoded than task types.

The paper shows that unreliable individual neurons in monkey orbitofrontal cortex collectively encode reliable economic value signals during choice tasks.
