Brain response to reward cues in young adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain reacts to cues that signal rewards in young adults ages 18 to 22. Participants will do computer tasks and have an MRI scan to understand differences in how people respond to reward-related signals.
