Brain neurons misfire when the stakes are at their highest, sending poorer signals to the body that affects our actions in high-stakes situations.
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have discovered that abnormal neural activity in the motor cortex of the brain increases when the reward payoff is greatest.
The researchers believe that by better understanding the neural mechanisms, there's a path to manipulating the brain in order to give people control over those rewards.
