Boys showed greater striatal BOLD response during reward processing. Statistical maps of sex differences in percent BOLD activation in Win – No Win contrast (controlling for age) overlaid on a standard Talairach template are depicted here. Boys showed more activation (orange) than girls (blue) in bilateral lentiform nucleus (extending to caudate nucleus, putamen, nucleus accumbens and thalamus). Percent BOLD signal change in these regions is also depicted by trial type (No Win and Win) and their contrast (Win – No Win). In all cases, boys showed higher percent BOLD signal change during Win trials, compared to girls. In contrast, there were no sex differences in No Win BOLD activation.
