Neural activity correlated with the coefficient of the standard value-based model. Coronal (left) and sagittal (right) views of the brain. Only neural activity in the ACC (MNI coordinate = [−12, 36, 32]; uncorrected p < 0.001) and a peak cluster in the dACC were found (p < 0.005 uncorrected for display purposes).
Traditional behavioral models of bargaining interpret acceptance of #unfair offers as simple reward maximization. This study shows that #inequality aversion also shapes these decisions and identifies the #dACC as a regulator of responses to disadvantageous inequity @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4kmRadA
