Topic: impulsive decision-making

In the context of impulsive decision-making, delay discounting is a phenomenon observed when participants refer to the preference for a smaller reward sooner rather than a larger reward later in reward receipt. Previous neuroimaging findings showed that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) contributes to predicting the selection of larger-later over smaller-sooner rewards. However, recent studies on delay discounting offer mixed conclusions. This study aimed to examine how impulsive decision-making affects the signal transfer from the left DLPFC to the primary motor cortex (M1) by using

Food addiction is characterized by impulsive decision-making, compulsive food intake, and a loss of behavioral control toward highly palatable foods. Impulsivity has been described as a predictive vulnerability marker for addiction disorders. The ventral hippocampus (vHPC) to prelimbic medial prefrontal cortex (PL mPFC) pathway has been associated with impulsive operant responses towards highly palatable foods and food-motivated behaviors. However, the electrophysiological dynamics between these brain areas underlying impulsivity are not well understood.In the food addiction animal model, mice
