Prediction of individual differences in risky behaviour in young adults via variations in local brain structure

Prediction of individual differences in risky behaviour in young adults via variations in local brain structure

In recent years the problem of how inter-individual differences play a role in risk-taking behaviour has become a much debated issue. We investigated this problem based on the well-known balloon analogue risk task (BART) in which participants inflate a virtual balloon opting for a higher score in th...
