Overview

Supports striatal-prefrontal maturation imbalance in adolescents; leaves open links to risk behaviors pending longitudinal data.

Structured PICO

P
Population
102 volunteers in three different age groups: 34 adolescents, 34 younger adults, and 34 older adults
I
Intervention
Slot machine gambling task during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
C
Comparator
Comparisons between age groups (adolescents vs younger adults vs older adults)
O
Outcome
Neural activation in core reward areas (ventral striatum, ventromedial prefrontal cortex), valence processing associated areas (anterior cingulate cortex, insula), and information integration associated areas (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, inferior parietal lobule) during reward anticipationsurrogate

Lifespan-related changes during reward anticipation are characterized by different trajectories in different reward network modules, supporting the hypothesis of an imbalance in maturation of striatal and prefrontal cortex in adolescents.
