“…17 These findings raise the intriguing possibility that impaired reward processing represents an early risk factor for developing BD and is a potential therapeutic target even in the absence of overt symptoms. Indeed, investigators have linked aberrant reward processing to trait impulsivity 18 and to approach or novelty-seeking behaviors, 19 characteristics that have been posited to be associated with BD 20,21 and can lead to a more severe illness course. 22 No study, to our knowledge, however, has examined the neural correlates of reward processing in young offspring without disorders born to parents with BD; these children may be at risk for trait impulsivity 23 and novelty-seeking 24 behaviors before the onset of mania.…”

“…[27][28][29] On the basis of prior literature, [11][12][13][14][15]17 we predicted that, compared with typically developing children at low risk for developing mania, offspring of parents with BD would have aberrations in frontostriatal activation and connectivity while processing rewards and losses. Given the likely relations between impulsivity and mania risk 21 and between novelty seeking and mania risk, 24 we also predicted that those high-risk participants with higher levels of trait impulsivity and novelty seeking would have greater activations in rewardrelated regions while processing rewards. were also assessed.…”

We used a monetary incentive delay task 25 that has been used in children with and at risk for mood disorders 15,26 and that reliably activates key reward neural circuitry, including medial and ventrolateral prefrontal cortices, OFC, dorsal and pregenual anterior cingulate cortex, and ventral striatum, during anticipation and receipt of rewards.…”

IMPORTANCE Bipolar disorder (BD) is highly familial and characterized by deficits in reward processing. It is not known, however, whether these deficits precede illness onset or are a consequence of the disorder.OBJECTIVE To determine whether anomalous neural processing of reward characterizes children at familial risk for BD in the absence of a personal history of a psychopathologic disorder. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTSThis study compared neural activity and behaviors of children at high and low risk for mania while they anticipate and respond to reward and loss. The study was performed from September 15, 2009, through February 17, 2012, in a university functional magnetic resonance imaging facility and included 8-to 15-year-old children without disorders born to a parent with BD (n = 20 high-risk children) and demographically matched healthy comparison children (n = 25 low-risk children). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURESNeural activity, as measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging, during anticipation and receipt of reward and loss during a monetary incentive delay task.RESULTS While anticipating losses, high-risk children had less activation in the pregenual cingulate than did their low-risk counterparts (t 19 = −2.44, P = .02). When receiving rewards, high-risk children had greater activation in the left lateral orbitofrontal cortex than did low-risk children (t 43 = −3.04, P = .004). High-risk children also had weaker functional connectivity between the pregenual cingulate and the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex while anticipating rewards than did low-risk children (t 19 = −4.38, P < .001) but had a stronger connectivity between these regions while anticipating losses (t 24 = 2.76, P = .01). Finally, in high-but not low-risk children, novelty seeking was associated with increased striatal and amygdalar activation in the anticipation of losses, and impulsivity was associated with increased striatal and insula activation in the receipt of rewards.CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Aberrant prefrontal activations and connectivities during reward processing suggest mechanisms that underlie early vulnerabilities for developing dysfunctional regulation of goal pursuit and motivation in children at high risk for mania. Longitudinal studies are needed to examine whether these patterns of neural activation predict the onset of mania and other mood disorders in high-risk children.

“…The BAS-FS scale has strongest conceptual and empirical links with impulsivity and diminished delayed reward gratification (Smillie et al, 2006;Giovanelli et al, 2013). Individual differences in behavior might be associated with differences in reward discounting when each turn of the game introduces a conflict between short-term private benefit and long-term reward by cooperation.…”

When Push Comes to Shove: Compensating and Opportunistic Strategies in a Collective-Risk Household Energy Dilemma

To solve problems such as climate change, every little push counts. Community energy schemes are a popular policy targeted to reduce a country's carbon emissions but the effect they have on energy use depends on whether people can work together as a community. We often find ourselves caught in a dilemma: if others are not doing their bit, why should I? In our experiment, participants (N = 118) were matched in groups of 10 to play in a collective-risk game framed as a community energy purchase scheme. They made only one decision about energy use for their virtual household a day, while a full round of the game lasted 1 week in real time. All decisions were entered via personal phone or a home computer. If in the end of the week the group exceeded a pre-paid threshold of energy use all group members would share a fine. Each day participants received feedback about decisions of their group partners, and in some groups the feedback was manipulated as high (unfair condition) or low (fair condition) use. High average group use created individual risk for participants to be penalized in the end of the week, even if they did not use much themselves. We found that under the risk of having to pay a fine, participants stayed significantly below the fair-share threshold regardless of unfair behavior of others. On the contrary, they significantly decreased their consumption toward the end of the game. Seeing that others are doing their bit -using a fair-share -encouraged people to take advantage of the situation: those who played against fair confederates did not follow the normative behavior but conversely, increased their consumption over the course of the game. These opportunistic strategies were demonstrated by impulsive participants who were also low in punishment sensitivity. We discuss the findings in the light of policy research as well as literature on cooperation and prosocial behavior.
