Abstract

The goal of this research was to further our understanding of how the striatum responds to the delivery of affective feedback. Previously, we had found that the striatum showed a pattern of sustained activation after presentation of a monetary reward, in contrast to a decrease in the hemodynamic response after a punishment. In this study, we tested whether the activity of the striatum could be modulated by parametric variations in the amount of financial reward or punishment. We used an event-related fMRI design in which participants received large or small monetary rewards or punishments after performance in a gambling task. A parametric ordering of conditions was observed in the dorsal striatum according to both magnitude and valence. In addition, an early response to the presentation of feedback was observed and replicated in a second experiment with increased temporal resolution. This study further implicates the dorsal striatum as an integral component of a reward circuitry responsible for the control of motivated behavior, serving to code for such feedback properties as valence and magnitude.

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

  • The IPS and putamen are associated with response planning, oculomotor control, reward prediction, and outcome.

    “The IPS and putamen have both been associated with response planning, oculomotor control (Everling & Munoz, 2000), reward prediction (Peck et al., 2009) and outcome (Delgado et al., 2003).”
  • In the context of uncertainty (e.g., gambling task), the dorsal striatum responds to valence (reward or loss) and magnitude of outcomes, showing strongest activation to large monetary rewards and weakest activation to large monetary losses.

    “previous studies have shown that in the context of uncertainty (e.g., gambling task) also the dorsal striatum responds to valence (reward or loss) and magnitude of outcomes, showing strongest activation to large monetary rewards, and weakest activation to large monetary losses (Delgado et al., 2003).”

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.
