Really? I didn't notice it was jargon-y at all...and I have zero background in economics.
In a post referencing a paper claiming "...orbitofrontal cortex and ventral tegmental area are necessary ..." in the title, I somehow doubt that the complaint was about economic jargon. But then I do have a background in economics.
I suppose that I do have some background in neuroscience (at least the basics covered in our mandatory Anatomy and Physiology courses). I don't know per se what the ventral tegmental area does, but I know it's a part of the brain and, well, I'm relying on the post/article to tell me what it does if that is relevant to the point.
Right. You don't need to know what the VTA does or even where it is to get the point that we have these functions mapped to very clusters of neurons.
