Deciding Advantageously Before Knowing the Advantageous Strategy
- A. Bechara, H. Damasio, D. Tranel, A. Damasio
- Psychology, Medicine
- Science
- 28 February 1997
Deciding advantageously in a complex situation is thought to require overt reasoning on declarative knowledge, namely, on facts pertaining to premises, options for action, and outcomes of actions… Expand
Characterization of the decision-making deficit of patients with ventromedial prefrontal cortex lesions.
- A. Bechara, D. Tranel, H. Damasio
- Psychology, Medicine
- Brain : a journal of neurology
- 1 November 2000
On a gambling task that models real-life decisions, patients with bilateral lesions of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VM) opt for choices that yield high immediate gains in spite of higher… Expand
Emotion, decision making and the orbitofrontal cortex.
- A. Bechara, H. Damasio, A. Damasio
- Psychology, Medicine
- Cerebral cortex
- 1 March 2000
The somatic marker hypothesis provides a systems-level neuroanatomical and cognitive framework for decision making and the influence on it by emotion. The key idea of this hypothesis is that decision… Expand
Different Contributions of the Human Amygdala and Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex to Decision-Making
- A. Bechara, H. Damasio, A. Damasio, G. P. Lee
- Psychology, Medicine
- The Journal of Neuroscience
- 1 July 1999
The somatic marker hypothesis proposes that decision-making is a process that depends on emotion. Studies have shown that damage of the ventromedial prefrontal (VMF) cortex precludes the ability to… Expand
Subcortical and cortical brain activity during the feeling of self-generated emotions
- A. Damasio, T. Grabowski, +4 authors R. Hichwa
- Psychology, Medicine
- Nature Neuroscience
- 1 October 2000
In a series of [15O]PET experiments aimed at investigating the neural basis of emotion and feeling, 41 normal subjects recalled and re-experienced personal life episodes marked by sadness, happiness,… Expand
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE
Automatic computation of surface correspondence via harmonic map is an active research field in computer vision, computer graphics and computational geometry. It may help document and understand… Expand
A neural basis for lexical retrieval

TLDR
Failure to respond autonomically to anticipated future outcomes following damage to prefrontal cortex.
- A. Bechara, D. Tranel, H. Damasio, A. Damasio
- Psychology, Medicine
- Cerebral cortex
- 1 March 1996
Following damage to specific sectors of the prefrontal cortex, humans develop a defect in real-life decision making, in spite of otherwise normal intellectual performance. The patients so affected… Expand
Dissociation Of Working Memory from Decision Making within the Human Prefrontal Cortex
- A. Bechara, H. Damasio, D. Tranel, S. Anderson
- Psychology, Medicine
- The Journal of Neuroscience
- 1 January 1998
We tested the hypothesis that cognitive functions related to working memory (assessed with delay tasks) are distinct from those related to decision making (assessed with a gambling task), and that… Expand
Normal neuroanatomical variation due to age: The major lobes and a parcellation of the temporal region
- John S. Allen, J. Bruss, C. Brown, H. Damasio
- Psychology, Medicine
- Neurobiology of Aging
- 1 October 2005
We used high-resolution MRI to investigate gray and white matter aging in the major lobes of the cerebrum (frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital) and the major sectors of the temporal lobe (temporal… Expand
