Abstract

Humans tend to discount the value of delayed rewards. Peters and Büchel show in this issue of Neuron that the ability to appraise the value of such future rewards improves when future-oriented cognitive processes in the brain are recruited using personally relevant information. These results provide the platform for exciting new questions.
