Article Synopsis
- The study explored how adults with ADHD differ in reward responses compared to healthy controls using fMRI during a decision-making task.
- Adults with ADHD performed worse at avoiding risky choices and showed lower activation in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), an area linked to decision-making.
- These findings indicate that abnormal brain responses to rewards persist into adulthood for individuals with ADHD, emphasizing ongoing issues with reward processing.
Background: Cognitive deficits have been well-established among patients with severe mental illness. The aim of this study was to clarify the patterns of cognitive deficits in drug-naive patients with schizophrenia and non-psychotic major depressive disorder (MDD) as compared with controls.
Methods: Thirty drug-naïve participants with schizophrenia, 30 counterparts with non-psychotic MDD, and 30 age-, sex-, and education years-matched healthy controls were recruited.
