💡These findings highlight how developing brain networks shape adolescent decision-making by balancing exploration and feedback learning.

🔍Key findings about Aadolescents: ➡️ Slower learning from feedback (lower learning rate) ➡️ More variable choices (lower inverse temperature) ➡️ Stronger reliance on fronto-striatal brain connectivity

Our work explores how adolescents’ developing brain networks influence reward learning. We compared adolescents (13–16) and adults (30–40) using a reward-learning task and resting-state fMRI, analyzed with a hierarchical Bayesian model.

Developmental differences in reward-learning and its connection to resting-state functional connectivity modeled using a hierarchical Bayesian model - PubMed

Adolescence is a period of heightened sensation-seeking, risk-taking, and reward sensitivity, characterized by structural and functional changes in the brain. Developmental changes in functional connectivity between cortical and subcortical regions may refine communication within reward-related circ …

It was a great pleasure to talk about my research on “Sex and menstrual cycle effects on effort based decision-making” at WCP 2025 🧠
