“…Approach biases have been documented for alcohol (Ernst et al, 2011;Palfai & Ostafin, 2003;Peeters et al, 2012;Wiers, Rinck, Kordts, Houben, & Strack, 2010), tobacco (Bradley, Field, Healy, & Mogg, 2008;Mogg, Bradley, Field, & De Houwer, 2003) and cannabis (Cousijn et al, 2011;Field, Eastwood, Bradley, & Mogg, 2006). Although some studies have demonstrated that approach biases can broadly predict consumption patterns for some substances (e.g., cannabis and alcohol; Cousijn et al, 2011;Cousijn et al, 2012;Palfai & Ostafin, 2003), in other studies the relationship between approach action tendencies and consumption is less clear (Fernie et al, 2013;Field, Caren, Fernie, & De Houwer, 2011).…”

“…fNIRS can be defined as a non-invasive optical brain imaging technique that investigates cerebral blood flow (CBF) as well as the hemodynamic response in a local brain area during neural activity (Jackson and Kennedy, 2013). In different prior studies it has been demonstrated that, comparable to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the fNIRS method is a reliable and valid measurement for cortical activations (see Ernst et al, 2013). …”

Over the last decade, the application of neuroscience to economic research has gained in importance and the number of neuroeconomic studies has grown extensively. The most common method for these investigations is fMRI. However, fMRI has limitations (particularly concerning situational factors) that should be countered with other methods. This review elaborates on the use of functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) as a new and promising tool for investigating economic decision making both in field experiments and outside the laboratory. We describe results of studies investigating the reliability of prototype NIRS studies, as well as detailing experiments using conventional and stationary fNIRS devices to analyze this potential. This review article shows that further research using mobile fNIRS for studies on economic decision making outside the laboratory could be a fruitful avenue helping to develop the potential of a new method for field experiments outside the laboratory.

“…Within each set of analyses, we first focused on two main regions of interest (ROIs). ROIs included (1) the ventral striatum, given a robust body of evidence demonstrating the centrality of this region to reward processing (Berridge, Robinson, & Aldridge, 2009; Pecina & Berridge, 2013), and (2) the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) given the important role for this region in modulating responses to reward and punishment (Ernst et al, 2013; Wrase et al, 2007) and some mixed findings implicating the OFC in reward anticipation in BD (e.g., Chase et al, 2013; Nusslock et al, 2012; though also see Bermpohl et al, 2010; Caseras et al, 2013). We then employed a whole-brain approach to examine other neural regions where groups differed significantly during anticipation and receipt of rewards.…”

Elevated striatal reactivity across monetary and social rewards in bipolar I disorder.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is associated with increased reactivity to rewards and heightened positive affectivity. It is less clear to what extent this heightened reward sensitivity is evident across contexts and what the associated neural mechanisms might be. The present investigation employed both a monetary and social incentive delay task among adults with remitted BD type I (N=24) and a healthy non-psychiatric control group (HC; N=25) using fMRI. Both whole-brain and region-of-interest analyses revealed elevated ventral and dorsal striatal reactivity across monetary and social reward receipt, but not anticipation, in the BD group. Post-hoc analyses further suggested that greater striatal reactivity to reward receipt across monetary and social reward tasks predicted decreased self-reported positive affect when anticipating subsequent rewards in the HC, but not BD, group. Results point toward elevated striatal reactivity to reward receipt as a potential neural mechanism of reward reactivity.
