The Motivated Mind: Neuroimaging Shows What Effort Looks Like in the Brain – Technology Networks
Scientists have discovered that the ventral striatum is activated during the decision-making of a physical effort.
Neuroscientists have provided clear visual evidence that a region of the human brain known as the ventral striatum kicks in during decision-making to weigh the costs versus the benefits of making a physical effort.
Nature Human Behavior published the research by scientists at Emory University. It gives the first detailed view of ventral striatum activity during three phases of effort-based decision-making the anticipation of initiating an effort, the actual execution of the effort and the reward,…
