As neuroeconomics enters its second decade, it is fair to ask whether it represents
a useful confluence of two disciplines or simply a compound word with aspirations
to be much more. Neuroeconomics rests on two important assumptions: the first is the
ideal rational agent model, which guides the definition of optimal decision making
and the valuations that should underlie it. The second is that neuroimaging is capable
of providing insights into the neurobiology of the decision-making process. This special
issue attempts to stretch the methods and metaphors of neuroeconomics toward the characterization
and understanding of psychiatric disorders.
