This paper reports experimental results on both neuropsychological and neuronal correlates of risk-taking and betrayal aversion among 121 healthy participants (X_age=21.7; SD = 2.8). A questionnaire on financial habits was administered, followed by neuropsychological tests and a magnetic resonance imaging session while participants viewed videos depicting both traditional and digital economic transactions. Participants also completed a computerized version of trust and risk games. Results reveal that Sensitivity to Punishment and Negative Urgency significantly predict risk behavior. High betrayal aversion was associated with greater sensitivity to punishment as well as lower volume in temporal areas. Cluster analysis identified two distinct psychological profiles based on betrayal aversion scores, highlighting differences in sensitivity to punishment, negative urgency, positive urgency, and trust game score. Furthermore, cortical thickness comparisons revealed differences between low and high-aversion groups, particularly in the temporal, parietal, and insular areas. White matter analysis indicated less integration in specific tracts among individuals with high betrayal aversion. These findings suggest the influence of neuropsychological factors on the adoption of risky financial behaviors and emotional response to betrayal.</p>","PeriodicalId":9192,"journal":{"name":"Brain Imaging and Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"357-364"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11978724/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143063806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to explore the alterations of functional connectivity and WM microstructure, as well as their relationship with cognitive performance in patients with left basal ganglia AIS. We acquired resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) data from 41 individuals with left basal ganglia AIS and 41 healthy controls (HC). The degree centrality (DC) method was applied to calculate the functional connectivity and Tract-Based Spatial Statistics was employed to evaluate the voxel-based group differences of diffusion metrics for the values of fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity, axial diffusivity (AD), radial diffusivity, mean kurtosis (MK), axial kurtosis, and radial kurtosis (RK). AIS showed attenuated DC in the bilateral precuneus and enhanced DC in the left caudate nucleus, compared with HC. In AIS, DC in the left caudate nucleus correlated positively with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score (r = 0.681, p < 0.05). AIS had significantly decreased FA, AD, MK, and RK in WM tracts, including the internal capsule (IC), genu of corpus callosum (CC), body of CC, left superior longitudinal fasciculus (SLF), left cerebral peduncle, left corticospinal tract, anterior corona radiata (ACR), and left cingulum gyrus (CG). The MK in a cluster including the body of CC, right IC, left cingulate, SLF, ACR, and left CG was also significantly negatively correlated with MoCA scores (r = -0.508, p < 0.05).

Although no significant correlations were found between NH values and clinical symptoms, Support Vector Machine (SVM) analysis demonstrated over 60% accuracy in differentiating BD patients based on NH values.

Correlations between QSM data, neuropsychological scores, and clinical variables in HD group were analyzed. Linear regression analysis was performed to explore the effect of iron deposition on cognition and emotional well-being in HD group. A statistically significant P-value was set at 0.05. HD patients exhibited higher MSV_M in the right red nucleus (RN) compared to HCs (P = 0.006). Additionally, significant differences in the MSV_RII were observed in the left caudate nucleus (CN), bilateral putamen (Put), and right RN among the three groups (all P = 0.027, FDR-corrected). MSV_RII of the left Put was positively correlated with creatinine and uric acid levels, while the MSV_RII of the right Put was negatively correlated with mean corpuscular hemoglobin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. Regression analysis revealed that iron deposition in left CN was independently associated with depression, while iron deposition in left Put and right RN were independently positively associated with delayed recall performance. Conversely, iron deposition in bilateral Put and right RN were negatively associated with orientation ability, after controlling for age, sex, years of education and duration of dialysis.
