Self-esteem, the value that people ascribe to the self, is represented in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and dynamically updated when people learn how others value them.
Regulatory success operates by goal-consistent increases and decreases of distinct attribute representations in generic neural hubs and in domain-specific brain regions, explaining when and why regulatory success generalizes across domains and contexts.

Exclusion of participants in tasks with a learning element can introduce substantial bias and needs to be carefully considered and transparently reported and justified.

Oxytocin was found to significantly improve non-social decision making in a healthy sample, suggesting a domain-general function of the hormone, in contrast to its previously hypothesized social domain specificity.
A computational model of decision making suggests that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex's role in self-control is more associated with evidence accumulation processes than with inhibition or modulation of value.
Individual and situational differences in altruistic behavior do not reflect use of fundamentally different decision mechanisms, but instead differences in early perceptual or attentional processing of the choice-relevant information.
Targeted therapies induce an aberrant fucosylation of complex tumor secretomes stimulating the expansion of minority drug-resistant clones and promoting therapy resistance.

Touch-mediated social interactions in human females elicited endogenous oxytocin and brain responses in a covariant manner, and these changes were modulated by the familiarity of the person delivering touch as well as the recent history of social interaction.
