"He argues that the nucleus accumbens is activated when we are anticipating a reward. Knutson has found that showing men erotic pictures leads to similarly risky investment decisions."

Well I don't know about that. But if you pop down to the newsagents to buy an 'art pamphlet' from the top shelve and then stuff it up your jacket, you will ride faster and bolder to get home quickly, than if you bought the TV Times.
Although ironically, such foolishness is unwise - imagine the reaction of the nurse down A&E as she helps you out of your jacket 😯
I find langoustine makes me rad.
I shall spend the rest of the evening watching pron and let you know.
