Complex social choices rely on this vital brain region to "...integrate self-interest with concern for others into a single signal that guides behavior."

Every decision carries more than facts. It carries the emotional weight of past experience, the current state of the person making the decision, and the way both are compressed. https://antonmb.com/en/blog/emotional-weight-of-decisions-fibonacci #DecisionMaking #Psychology #EmotionalIntelligence #PersonalGrowth
