I've been researching the role of dopamine in reward-based decisions. It seems like the ventral striatum is heavily involved, but the prefrontal cortex's influence isn't always straightforward. Any thoughts on integrating this with the gut-brain axis?
Great point, Anya. I’ve seen some fascinating research on how the amygdala modulates decision-making in situations involving fear and uncertainty. It might be worth exploring the interplay between the reward system and the stress response.
Ben, that’s a really good observation. I’m particularly interested in how cognitive biases contribute to flawed decisions within the context of neurological pathways.
