title: What's Worth the Risk? A Neural Circuit for Trade-Offs.
abstract: Cost-benefit analysis in decision making takes place in everyday life for animals and humans alike. In this issue, a neural circuit specific for modulating these behaviors is identified in rats and reveals elusive functional distinctions between long-mysterious anatomical features of the brain.
