Neural Processing of Risk

摘要: In our everyday life, we often have to make decisions with risky consequences, such as choosing a restaurant for dinner or form of retirement saving. To date, however, little is known about how the brain processes risk. Recent conceptualizations decision making highlight that it generally associated emotions but do not specify are implicated in risk processing. Moreover, processing non-choice situations and potential losses influence Here used quantitative meta-analyses functional magnetic resonance imaging experiments on investigate (1) influenced by emotions, (2) differs between choice situations, (3) changes when possible. By showing that, over range paradigms, consistently represented anterior insula, region process aversive anxiety, disappointment, regret, provide evidence emotions. Furthermore, results show risk-related activity dorsolateral prefrontal cortex parietal which no involved has already been made. The insula was predominantly active presence losses, indicating modulate
