Functional magnetic resonance imaging of reward prediction
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Technical and conceptual advances in functional magnetic resonance imaging now allow visualization of real-time changes in oxygenation of deep subcortical regions, leading to rapid advances in scientific characterization of the neural substrates that underlie reward prediction in humans. RECENT FINDINGS: Neuroimaging research over the past year has focused on determining the necessary neural substrates for reward prediction. SUMMARY: While the orbitofrontal cortex has long been implicated in modality-specific reward representation, the ventral striatum (particularly the nucleus accumbens) may play a role in modality-independent representations of predicted reward. On the other hand, the mesial prefrontal cortex appears to play a role in representing reward prediction error and the dorsal caudate in linking reward to behavior. Theoretically, future studies will need to establish the specificity of these responses to reward versus punishment and anticipation versus outcome. Clinically, current findings suggest that patients can predict reward without a prefrontal cortex, but should experience difficulty correcting their behavior when reward predictions are violated.

The ventral striatum is central to reward processing and responds to rewarding stimuli including drugs of abuse.
“The ventral striatum (VS) is central to reward processing (Knutson and Cooper 2005), and is activated by a range of rewarding stimuli including drugs of abuse (Gilman et al. 2008).”
From Effects of MDMA on sociability and neural response to social threat and social reward (2009) · cites this paper as Knutson and Cooper 2005
The affective pathway is associated with limbic and paralimbic areas including ventral striatum, orbitofrontal cortex, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and superior temporal sulcus.
“The affective pathway described in dual-systems models is most closely associated with a network of limbic and paralimbic areas involved in emotion- and reward-related processing, most notably the ventral striatum (which subsumes the nucleus accumbens), but also the orbitofrontal cortex, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and superior temporal sulcus”

The striatum is a key neural structure involved in reward-related processing, from recognizing and evaluating rewards to learning from them to predict the best potential reward in the future.
“The striatum is a key neural structure involved in reward-related processing, from recognizing and evaluating rewards to learning from them as to predict the best potential reward in the future for review see 1, 10, 11.”
From The social brain and reward: Social information processing in the human striatum (2014) · cites this paper as [10]
Reward-related signals in the striatum are crucial for alerting and motivating an organism to a reward opportunity, associating predictive cues with reward outcomes, and learning through trial and error in order to adapt behavior to attain rewards in the future.
“Thus, reward-related signals in the striatum appear to be crucial for alerting and motivating an organism to a reward opportunity, associating predictive cues with reward outcomes, and learning through trial and error in order to adapt behavior to attain rewards in the future1, 10, 11.”

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.
