This week our preview of Strait et al. 2014 came out in Neuron. In their study, Strait et al. found neurons in the monkey vmPFC were commonly influenced by reward magnitude and probability, showed anticorrelation for better and worse options, and covaried with choice independent of value. We further we discuss reward comparison by the vmPFC, the implications of their findings, and pose a few questions to be explored by future research.
