STAAR Lab publishes Neuron paper on dopamine, sunk cost, and motivation

Our latest paper, 'Striatal Dopamine Integrates Cost, Benefit, and Motivation,' has been published in Neuron. Why do we value things more if we've worked harder for them? Why does motivation vary from day to day and person to person? Check out the paper to see our latest attempts to tackle these questions! And check out Stanford's press release as well as Nature Reviews Neuroscience's article highlighting some of our key findings.
