What I learned:

• decisions are made in the frontal cortex of the brain, along with where risks and benefits are weighed
• the exploration of drugs' effects on decisions making are linked to drug abuse and addiction
• drug addiction is associated with decision making and your fail to learn from repeated errors
• there are chemical "labels" that help woth decision making diseases
• many therapies to study decision-making
• drugs lead to destructive decisions; genetics and environment
• dysfunction in decision making which predisposes a person to drug abuse
• those dysfunctions might lead scientists to an effective treatment for men and women who's lives are diminished by decisions that bring them harm

Questions that I have:
-What could be those therapies used?
-If one has a specific dysfunction, how could one get rid of it?
-How could the environment have a threat to those who make poor decisions?
-If scientists were to study more of the brain, where could they find the specific part that makes those decisions for us?
