Residence in Communities with Higher Violent Crimes Associated with Lower Reward-Related Brain Function
Residence in neighborhoods with high levels of environmental threat, characteristic of high-crime communities, may be linked with blunted NAc reward anticipation. Although living in a high-crime community is a passive form of exposure to adversity, these findings indicate that it may be sufficient to observe distinct individual differences in reward-related brain function.
