Cognitive effort devaluation and the salience network: a computational model of amotivation in depression
Our findings demonstrate amotivation is specifically associated with cognitive effort devaluation in a cost-benefit analysis incorporating loss aversion, incentive learning, temporal discounting, and cognitive effort discounting. Modulation of effort valuation via the AIC-aMCC network suggests a potential treatment target.
