Figure 5. Anticipated absolute reward magnitude activity in adolescents and adults for the whole brain analyses.

Results are shown on a coronal slices for the VS (y = 8). Although the direct comparison between the two groups was not significant, the within group analyses show that the adults demonstrated strong, bilateral activation in the VS and other adjacent regions whereas the effect was much weaker in the adolescents. P-value threshold set to .005 as in other whole brain analyses.
