Reward sensitivity predicts a range of risky health behaviours in non-clinical samples [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Reward sensitivity, a trait reflecting hypervigilance and approach behaviour towards rewarding cues in the environment, has been shown to be a risk factor for several health behaviours, though the precise contexts and mechanisms underlying this risk ...

No Differential Reward Responsivity and Drive, Punishment Sensitivity or Attention for Cues Signaling Reward or Punishment in Adolescents With Obesity

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
Although it has been proposed that obese and healthy weight individuals might differ in their reward and punishment sensitivity, the literature shows diverse and inconsistent findings.

Effects of hippocampal damage on reward threshold and response rate during self-stimulation of the ventral tegmental area in the rat [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The main purpose of this study was to explore the role of the hippocampus in motivated behavior. Rats with bilateral excitotoxic lesions of the hippocampus and controls were trained to lever press for electrical stimulation of the ventral tegmental area.

Greater Food Reward Sensitivity is Associated with More Frequent Intake of Discretionary Foods in a Nationally Representative Sample of Young Adults

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2016
Food reward sensitivity may influence individual susceptibility to an environment replete with highly palatable foods of minimal nutritional value. These foods contain combinations of added sugar, fat, and/or salt that may enhance their motivational ...

Reward sensitivity modulates the brain reward pathway in stress resilience via the inherent neuroendocrine system

open access: yesNeurobiology of Stress, 2022
In the previous 10 years, researchers have suggested a critical role for the brain reward system in stress resilience. However, no study has provided an empirical link between activity in the mesostriatal reward regions during stress and the recovery of ...

Common and distinct impacts of autistic traits and alexithymia on social reward. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
According to the social motivation hypothesis of autism, individuals with high levels of autistic traits experience reduced levels of reward from social interactions.

Neural Processing of Calories in Brain Reward Areas Can be Modulated by Reward Sensitivity [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2016
A food's reward value is dependent on its caloric content. Furthermore, a food's acute reward value also depends on hunger state. The drive to obtain rewards (reward sensitivity), however, differs between individuals. Here, we assessed the association between brain responses to calories in the mouth and trait reward sensitivity in different hunger ...

Food reward sensitivity predicts overconsumption of high-fat snack food [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Overconsumption of snack foods has been linked to rising rates of obesity, with our ‘obesogenic’ environment and its abundance of palatable, high-calorie foods and associated cues especially implicated.

Reduced pupillary reward sensitivity in Parkinson’s disease [PDF]

open access: yesnpj Parkinson's Disease, 2015
AbstractAbnormalities in reward processing may be a critical part of understanding nonmotor manifestations of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Dysfunction in dopaminergic pathways, which signal upcoming rewards, might result in altered motivation by incentives. To examine this proposal, we studied 16 patients with PD, both ON and OFF their normal dopaminergic
