Abstract

The cerebellum is a late-developing area of the brain that shows promise in regulation of reward related processes. Since reward plays a role in a number of disorders, finding out how reward works and how to alter this is critical. Since both the cerebellum and the reward are changing in adolescence, does this region show cerebellar activation with reward? A search of the literature shows that it does.
