Disinhibition of the orbitofrontal cortex biases decision-making in obesity

Lauren T. Seabrook et al.

Summary: The lateral orbitofrontal cortex (lOFC) is involved in integrating sensory information about food and expected outcomes to regulate feeding behavior. In this study, it was found that the lOFC also plays a role in the cognitive control of behavior in obesity. Obesity leads to inflexible food-seeking behavior due to reduced inhibitory drive in the lOFC. Restoring inhibitory neurotransmission in the lOFC reinstates flexible behavior in obese mice. These findings suggest that obesity-induced disinhibition of the lOFC affects decision-making in an obesogenic environment.

Computational models of exploration and exploitation characterise onset and efficacy of treatment in methamphetamine use disorder

Alex H. Robinson et al.

Summary: People with Methamphetamine Use Disorder (PwMUD) show deficits in exploitative decision-making and engage in frequent behavioral exploration. Those who exhibit increased behavioral exploration, use of past choice outcomes, and choice consistency are more likely to reduce methamphetamine use over a 6 week period.

A Neuroeconomics Approach to Obesity

Ohad Dan et al.

Summary: Obesity is a complex condition influenced by various factors, and value-based decision making provides a useful framework for understanding it at an individual level. The disciplines of behavioral economics and reinforcement learning help identify specific cognitive and motivational processes related to obesity, while neuroeconomics studies the neural mechanisms underlying these processes. A survey of recent literature on individual decision characteristics related to obesity found consistent and inconsistent behavioral findings, highlighting the need to explore multiple processes within individuals to identify unique behavioral profiles associated with obesity and inform tailored interventions.

Food Pleasure Profiles-An Exploratory Case Study of the Relation between Drivers of Food Pleasure and Lifestyle and Personality Traits in a Danish Consumer Segment

Nikoline Bach Hyldelund et al.

Summary: This study investigates the differences in food pleasure drivers among Danish consumers and examines how these differences are related to specific sociodemographic, lifestyle, health, and eating behavior personality traits. The results reveal that different consumer segments have distinct characteristics in terms of food pleasure. Additionally, the study uncovers the link between mental health, personality, eating behavior, and perceived food pleasure.

A Causal Role for the Right Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Avoidance of Risky Choices and Making Advantageous Selections

Ignacio Obeso et al.

Summary: This study provides evidence for the role of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in exploration and risky decision-making, particularly in the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). Stimulation of the right DLPFC increased sensitivity to reinforcers, leading to avoidance of risky choices and promoting advantageous decisions during the task.

The JASP guidelines for conducting and reporting a Bayesian analysis

Johnny van Doorn et al.

Summary: Although there is a lack of practical guidelines on how to apply Bayesian procedures and interpret results in empirical research, this study offers specific guidance for four stages of Bayesian statistical reasoning in a research setting: planning the analysis, executing the analysis, interpreting the results, and reporting the results. Each stage's guidelines are illustrated with a running example, primarily focusing on analyses performed with the open-source statistical software JASP, but with applicability to Bayesian inference in general.
