Computational neuroimaging study reveals lower expected value signaling in adults exposed to early adversity, suggesting long-term disruptions in neural reward learning circuits.
Early adverse experiences are assumed to affect fundamental processes of reward learning and decision making. However, computational neuroimaging studies investigating these circuits in the context of adversity are sparse and limited to studies conducted in adolescent samples, leaving the long-term effects unexplored.
