Summary: Aging is often accompanied by cognitive decline and altered decision making. This study found that older adults have difficulty in processing reward/risk information, leading to suboptimal decision strategy. It also investigated the neural substrates of risky decision-making under ambiguity in aging and found that older adults are more sensitive to high punishment frequency.

Summary: This study used functional MRI data from 250 children aged 7 to 12 to create age-specific brain activity maps in four domains, and developed a toolbox for researchers to visualize and download these maps. The toolbox and maps are available on the Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse website, providing valuable resources for future developmental neuroimaging studies.

Summary: Research suggests that impairments in decision-making may contribute to the development of obesity, especially in adolescents. In this study, overweight adolescents showed riskier decision-making and differences in reward learning, forgetfulness, and deck perseverance compared to normal weight adolescents.

Summary: Reward and punishment play a crucial role in motivating decision-making and behavior changes. Through a meta-analysis of studies on the monetary incentive delay task (MIDT), this research identifies the shared and distinct neural responses during win and loss anticipation and outcome. Understanding these neural processes can contribute to empirical research on motivated behaviors and psychopathology.

Summary: Deciding about courses of action involves minimizing costs and maximizing benefits. Decision neuroscience studies have implicated both the ventral and dorsal medial PFC in signaling goal value and action cost, but the precise functional role of these regions is still a matter of debate. More generally, assessing commonalities across preference tasks might help in reaching a unified view of the neural mechanisms underlying the cost/benefit tradeoffs that drive human behavior.

Summary: Research shows that women with AUD demonstrate higher reactivity to sexual cues compared to control women, with distinct brain activation patterns in response to high-risk decisions. This suggests a shared mechanism for reactivity to alcohol and sexual cues in women with AUD, potentially leading to riskier sexual decisions due to repeated pairing of alcohol use and sexual activity.

Summary: The study found that children with parents with substance-related problems show small differences in reward processing compared to their peers, suggesting a potential influence of parental substance use history on brain function.

Summary: Research shows cognitive and neurobiological overlap between sign-tracking and maladaptive behavior. The study investigates the neural correlates of sign-tracking by using an additional singleton task and fMRI. The results suggest that sign-tracking is associated with activation of the 'attention and salience network' in response to reward cues but not reward feedback, demonstrating a distinction between the two in the brain.

Summary: Adolescents and adults show differences in their response to rewards and handling uncertainty, possibly influenced by different reward probabilities. Adolescents exhibit faster reaction times under lower reward probabilities in experiments, but overall slower response speed compared to adults.

Summary: Reward dysfunction plays a key role in the development of psychiatric conditions in adolescence. A study using the Reward Flanker fMRI Task found that reward expectancy activates certain brain regions, while reward attainment leads to deactivation in these regions. Additionally, reward expectancy activation is negatively correlated with anxiety severity, while reward attainment activation is positively correlated with both anxiety and depression severity.

Summary: The study evaluated the relative benefit of 7T over 3T fMRI for assessing responses evoked in different brain regions by a cognitive task, demonstrating a generally bigger advantage of 7T in subcortical structures. Stronger responses were also found at 7T for easier decisions in dopaminergic midbrain nuclei, in line with reward expectation, showcasing the potential of 7T fMRI in understanding cognitive computations in the human brain.

Summary: This study found that adolescents with higher body mass index show neural activation and ventral striatum connectivity alterations related to reward, salience detection, and inhibitory control, potentially leading to impulsive behaviors and weight gain in adolescents.

Summary: The study found a neurobiological foundation for the protective aspect of hyperthymic temperament against depression in the reward system, suggesting that hyperthymic temperament may modulate attentional or motor responses or optimal selection of behavior based on reward, rather than value representation.

Summary: Unforeseen obstacles disrupting reward seeking behavior can lead to negative affect in adolescents, potentially contributing to the development of depression. However, the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying this impact on reward processing in adolescent depression have not been characterized. This study uses neuroimaging and a novel paradigm to examine how incidental action obstruction affects reward-based decision making. Rating: 7 out of 10.

Summary: Up to 50% of new mothers experience baby blues (BB) within a week of delivery, with affective disturbances being the central symptoms. This study investigates whether incentive processing during the experience of BB can be altered through the monetary incentive delay (MID) task. The results demonstrate that the BB-related time window overlaps with alterations in the brain networks associated with incentive processing.
