Stakes-selective functional connectivity. a Conjunction for high stakes versus low stakes targets PPI analysis with ventral striatum seed. PPI analyses were seeded in the ventral striatum to identify connectivity that was enhanced for high stakes relative to low stakes targets, and covariates were included for age (blue) and d′high–low (red); (small volume corrected t tests, FWE p < 0.05). A conjunction analysis identified regions of overlap (yellow). b Ventral striatum–vlPFC connectivity mediation model. VS–vlPFC connectivity for high stakes versus low stakes targets mediated the relationship between age and improved performance for high versus low stakes conditions
