Animals are fundamentally governed by rewards. It is a central component of our behavior and the pursuit of which represents the integration of a broad range of cognitive capacities. These functions take place in a distributed reward network and include regions such as the frontal cortex, cingulate cortex, basal ganglia, and midbrain dopaminergic systems. Within the last decade, a few pioneering studies have explored reward processes in the human brain at the single neuronal level, providing the first evidence on how this integral cognitive function is represented at the level of the individual neuron in humans. In this chapter, we highlight these studies in the context of previous animal physiology and human imaging studies.
