      Scientists say decision-making involves two regions of the brain: your ‘valuation network’ and your ‘cognitive control’

      The valuation network provides information on what is rewarding around you, and the cognitive control is what keeps this in check!

      Damage to these brain regions can therefore affect our decision-making
