Distributed neural representation of saliency controlled value and category during anticipation of rewards and punishments

Distributed neural representation of saliency controlled value and category during anticipation of rewards and punishments

Stimulus category, saliency and value all affect the subjective value estimates that guide our decisions. Here, the authors systematically vary their stimuli along these three dimensions in humans and report category independent encoding of values and saliency in the vmPFC and striatum.
