Abstract

Opposing theories of striatal hyper- and hypodopaminergic functioning have been suggested in the pathophysiology of externalizing behavior disorders. To test these competing theories, the authors used functional MRI to evaluate neural activity during a simple reward task in 12- to 16-year-old boys with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and/or conduct disorder (n = 19) and in controls with no psychiatric condition (n = 11). The task proceeded in blocks during which participants received either (a) monetary incentives for correct responses or (b) no rewards for correct responses. Controls exhibited striatal activation only during reward, shifting to anterior cingulate activation during nonreward. In contrast, externalizing adolescents exhibited striatal activation during both reward and nonreward. Externalizing psychopathology appears to be characterized by deficits in processing the omission of predicted reward, which may render behaviors that are acquired through environmental contingencies difficult to extinguish when those contingencies change.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Depression and externalizing problems are associated with poor reward learning and atypical neural response to reward.

    “Both depression and externalizing problems have been associated with poor reward learning and atypical neural response to reward(142, 143)”
  • Other studies reported enhanced striatal and medial prefrontal/orbitofrontal reactivity during reward outcome processing in children and adolescents with ADHD relative to TDC.

    “other studies reported enhanced striatal and medial prefrontal/orbitofrontal reactivity during reward outcome processing in children and adolescents with ADHD relative to TDC (Bjork et al., 2010, Gatzke-Kopp et al., 2009, Paloyelis et al., 2012, Rubia et al., 2009a).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
