“…This pattern of hypoactivity has been confirmed in meta-analyses ( Leroy et al, 2020 , Radua et al, 2015 ), but some studies do not show group differences ( Kirschner et al, 2016 , Stepien et al, 2018 ). Other regions activated during reward anticipation include the anterior cingulate cortex and the insula ( Diekhof et al, 2012 ), which typically show lower activation in patients with schizophrenia ( Cadena et al, 2018 , Leroy et al, 2020 , Moran et al, 2019 , Smucny et al, 2021 ). It should be noted that deficits in reward anticipation are present in other disorders, such as bipolar disorder, although a recent study showed that they may rely on different patterns of activation than in schizophrenia ( Smucny et al, 2021 ).…”
