“…We hypothesized that for both approached and avoided stimuli, children with maltreatment experience would show reduced modulation of blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) responses by EV in four regions of interest (ROIs): the DS and VS striatum, the medial OFC (mOFC), and the lateral OFC (lOFC). As noted earlier, this is in line with evidence from studies of reinforcement expectancies representation in those psychiatric disorders associated with maltreatment, with the animal literature of early adversity, and with some preliminary evidence from studies of extreme neglect (e.g., Forbes et al, 2009;Mehta et al, 2010;Smoski et al, 2011;Stringaris et al, 2015;White et al, 2013White et al, , 2017. In addition, consistent with substantial evidence of increased neural activation to negative stimuli and negative feedback among abused and neglected children (e.g., Lim et al, 2015;McCrory et al, 2011;McLaughlin et al, 2015), we hypothesized that children with maltreatment experience would show increased modulation of BOLD responses by PE during punishment feedback in four ROIs: the amygdala, the insula, and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and midcingulate cortex (MCC).…”
