Striatal functional alteration in adolescents characterized by early childhood behavioral inhibition

The temperamental style of behavioral inhibition has been characterized by exaggerated behavioral and neural responses to cues signaling threat. Virtually no work, however, has addressed whether behavioral inhibition may also confer heightened brain activation in response to positively valenced incentives. We used event-related functional MRI (fMRI) and a monetary incentive delay task to examine whether… Continue reading Striatal functional alteration in adolescents characterized by early childhood behavioral inhibition
