Traditional behavioral models of bargaining interpret acceptance of #unfair offers as simple reward maximization. This study shows that #inequality aversion also shapes these decisions and identifies the #dACC as a regulator of responses to disadvantageous inequity @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4kmRadA
