Connectivity adaptations in dopaminergic systems define the brain maturity of investors

Abstract Investment decisions rely on perceptions from external stimuli along with the integration of inner brain-body signals, all of which are shaped by experience. As experience is capable of molding both the structure and function of the human brain, we have used a novel neuroimaging connectomic...
