Reward, motivation and brain imaging in human healthy participants – A narrative review
A. M. Weinstein
Over two decades of human brain imaging are synthesized in this narrative review by Aviv M. Weinstein, revealing how mesolimbic dopamine circuits, medial and lateral PFC (including dlPFC), thalamus, insula and motor systems coordinate reward motivation with cognition. It highlights links between reward, learning and memory, genetic and sex influences, and implications for addiction, depression and ADHD—pointing to memory-focused intervention opportunities.
