Psychologists looked at individuals with damage to different parts of the prefrontal cortex to reveal how the brain evaluates uncertainty and guides split- second decisions.

The findings could bear implications for understanding and potentially treating conditions like anxiety, depression, substance abuse and addiction, which often involve altered reward processing and persistence behaviors.

The lateral prefrontal cortex may not be as central to persistence as previously thought.

Researchers are turning their attention to neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin to better understand how these systems influence persistence.

The research was supported by the National Institutes of Health (grants R01-DA029149 , F32-DA030870 , and award ZIA DA000642).
