Hypothalamic-Extended Amygdala Circuit Regulates Temporal Discounting. [PDF]
Choice behavior is characterized by temporal discounting, i.e., preference for immediate rewards given a choice between immediate and delayed rewards. Agouti-related peptide (AgRP)-expressing neurons located in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (ARC) regulate food intake and energy homeostasis, yet whether AgRP neurons influence choice behavior ...

The contrast effect in temporal and probabilistic discounting [PDF]
In this information age, messages related to time and uncertainty surround us. At the same time, our daily lives are filled with decisions accompanied by temporal delay or uncertainty.

Discounting of Reward Sequences: a Test of Competing Formal Models of Hyperbolic Discounting [PDF]
Humans are known to discount future rewards hyperbolically in time. Nevertheless, a formal recursive model of hyperbolic discounting has been elusive until recently, with the introduction of the hyperbolically discounted temporal difference (HDTD) model.

Temporal Discounting, Emotions and Agency
What kind of emotions could be the causes of temporal discounting and its hyperboloid curve? Not the too general category of “visceral” anticipatory emotions (Loewenstein and Lerner), but more specifically emotions related to agency (“driving ...

Methylphenidate, but not citalopram, decreases impulsive choice in rats performing a temporal discounting task [PDF]
IntroductionDrugs targeting monoamine systems remain the most common treatment for disorders with impulse control impairments. There is a body of literature suggesting that drugs affecting serotonin reuptake and dopamine reuptake can modulate distinct ...

Positive autobiographical memory retrieval reduces temporal discounting [PDF]
People generally prefer rewards sooner rather than later. This phenomenon, temporal discounting, underlies many societal problems, including addiction and obesity. One way to reduce temporal discounting is to imagine positive future experiences. Since there is overlap in the neural circuitry associated with imagining future experiences and remembering ...

Individual Differences in Intertemporal Choice
Intertemporal choice involves deciding between smaller, sooner and larger, later rewards. People tend to prefer smaller rewards that are available earlier to larger rewards available later, a phenomenon referred to as temporal or delay discounting ...

Formal comparison of dual-parameter temporal discounting models in controls and pathological gamblers. [PDF]
Temporal or delay discounting refers to the phenomenon that the value of a reward is discounted as a function of time to delivery. A range of models have been proposed that approximate the shape of the discount curve describing the relationship between ...
