A comprehensive systems overview of sensory and reward processing in the brain, this book explores what reward processing can teach us about the senses and what sensory processing can teach us about reward. In examining the neurobiological interface between sensation and reward, the book reveals how the instrinsic properties of sensory systems effectively define and constrain the ambitions of reward-related processing in human and non-human brains. With contributions from leading investigators in the fields of sensation and reward, the text injects the "sensory" back into the study of reward processing, and the "rewarding" back into the study of sensory processing.
