The paper compares group and personalized brain functional connectivity approaches for depressive constructs, finding intersection estimates more valid and predictive than group or personalized estimates alone.

The paper investigates how social closeness and individual differences in reward sensitivity and substance use affect ventral striatal activation and connectivity during shared reward experiences.

This study examines how trait reward sensitivity influences neural connectivity patterns during strategic decision-making tasks using fMRI.

The paper examines how reward sensitivity and subclinical substance use relate to striatal function during social rewards, finding nuanced neural correlates linked to potential risk for substance use disorder.

The paper investigates how family history of depression affects neural connectivity in the brain during social cognition and reward processing tasks.

This study performs a meta-analysis of neuroimaging data to show that major depressive disorder is associated with opposing abnormalities in the reward circuit, including hypo-responses in the ventral striatum and hyper-responses in the orbitofrontal cortex.
