Direct stimulation of anterior insula and ventromedial prefrontal cortex disrupts economic choices

R. Cecchi, A. Collomb-clerc, et al.

This groundbreaking research conducted by Romane Cecchi and colleagues reveals how specific neural stimulation in the brain affects our economic decision-making and confidence. By manipulating the ventral and dorsal regions of the anterior insula and ventromedial prefrontal cortex, they uncover vital insights into risk-taking behavior, demonstrating how our brains influence choices and self-assurance.
