Highlights d Medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) persistently encodes valuebased decision variables d Relative value signals are stable, and total value signals decay d Persistent decision variables are weakly represented in premotor cortex d mPFC projections to dorsomedial striatum persistently represent decision variables
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
