They got more than me! The brain circuit for socially subjective reward valuation

Researchers have identified one of the key brain circuits for deciding the value of a reward based on the rewards that others have received, known as socially subjective reward valuation. A better understanding of the roles of this circuit, from the medial prefrontal cortex to the lateral hypothalamus, may be helpful for the future diagnosis and treatment of patients with injuries or alterations in these regions.
