We’re constantly making decisions. If I get the pumpkin spice latte, would it make me happier than my usual black coffee? If I go the scenic route on a trip, would it be worth the extra time? Past and ...

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. — The International Brain Laboratory, a collaboration between neuroscientists in different cities, released a neural map that they say shows brain activity during decision-making.

Researchers exploring risky decision-making in rats found that a specific reward-related neural circuit influences impulsivity and risk-taking in complex ways that depend on timing and biological sex.

New research finds that a certain workout plan may make you less impulsive. Experts explain how it works and what the ...
