Figure 2

Teens unlke children and adults, make more false alarms to positive social cues than neutral ones on a go/nogo task (A and B). This behavioral performance is paralleled by enhanced activity of the ventral striatum (D and E), part of the reward circuit) to appetitive cues in teens relative to children and adults (bottom left). Low delayers make more false alarms to positive social cues than high delayers on a go/nogo task (C). This behavioral performance is paralleled by enhanced activity of the ventral striatum in low dealyers realtive to high delayers (F). Adapted from Somerville, Hare & Casey, 2011; Casey et al. 2012.
