Reward-based plasticity of spatial priority maps: Exploiting inter-subject variability to probe the underlying neurobiology

摘要: ABSTRACTRecent evidence indicates that the attentional priority of objects and locations is altered by controlled delivery reward, reflecting reward-based learning. Here, we take an approach hinging on intersubject variability to probe neurobiological bases reward-driven plasticity spatial maps. Specifically, ask whether individual’s susceptibility treatment can be accounted for specific predictors, notably personality traits are linked reward processing (along with more general traits), but also gender. Using a visual search protocol, show when different target associated unequal probability, priorities acquired rewarded relative less locations. However, while males exhibit expected pattern results, greater higher females opposite trend. Critically, both extent d...
