摘要: Damasio proposes in his somatic marker theory that not only cognitive but also affective components are critical for decision making. Since judgment requires an interplay between and components, it might be considered a key process making has been linked to neural activity ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC). Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we examined the relationship VMPFC, emotionally (unexpected)- cognitively (expected)-accentuated judgment, beneficial (Iowa Gambling Task; IGT) healthy subjects. Neuronal VMPFC during unexpected significantly correlated with both global final performance IGT task. These findings suggest degree which subjects recruit is related gambling.
