Purpose To characterize the altered brain function in patients with vestibular migraine (VM)
using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Methods In this …

A growing body of research has placed the ventral striatum at the center of a network of
cerebral regions involved in anticipating rewards in healthy controls. However, little is known …

Major depressive disorder is associated with a reward deficit manifested by abnormal striatal
function. However, differences between treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and non TRD …

Background Ventral striatal hypoactivation during reward anticipation has consistently been
observed in patients with schizophrenia. In addition, that hypoactivation has been shown to …

Background: Growing evidence points towards dysfunction of the ventral striatum as a
neural substrate of motivational impairments in schizophrenia. Ventral striatal activity during …

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter essential to coordinate biochemical and behavioral
functions in the striatum by modulating dopamine receptor signaling, including the …

To respond to these problems, three main goals were set for my PhD: the replication of
previous results on neural activity and an exploration of cortico-striatal networks underlying …
