Brain differences associated with financial exploitation. (A) Cortical thickness in financially exploited older adults is lower in the anterior insula and superior temporal sulcus or gyrus. Right lateral hemisphere. (B) Salience network in older and younger adults. (C) Differences in salience network connectivity in financially exploited and nonexploited older adults. Financially exploited older adults have reduced connectivity (cool colors) in the anterior insula, and greater connectivity (warm colors), in regions of the default network in posterior cingulate and medial prefrontal cortex. R = right hemisphere. (D) Default network in older and younger adults. (E) Differences in default network connectivity in financially exploited and nonexploited older adults. Financially exploited older adults have reduced connectivity (cool colors) in posterior cingulate cortex and mPFC, and greater connectivity (warm colors), in regions of the salience network in anterior insula.
