TL;DR: It is suggested that male adults with ADHD show neural signs of abnormal reward processing and future studies will have to investigate whether these dysfunctional patterns might be normalized by treatment.

TL;DR: It is suggested that MDD patients show ventral striatal hyporesponsiveness during incentive cue processing, which normalizes after successful treatment, as well as group-by-time interaction during anticipation of loss.

TL;DR: A neurobiological dysfunction related to reward prediction that transcended disorder categories and was related to measures of depressed mood is demonstrated and underline the potential of a dimensional approach in psychiatry and strengthen the hypothesis that neurobiology research in psychiatric disorders can be targeted at core mechanisms that are likely to be implicated in a range of clinical entities.

TL;DR: It is suggested that acute exercise ameliorates reduced BDNF concentrations in panic disorder patients and the question is raised whether this is also found after long-term exercise training and if it is related to the therapeutic outcome.

TL;DR: The observed alterations are consistent with a state‐related affective processing bias during the expectation of gains and losses which may contribute to clinical features of mania, such as the enhanced motivation for seeking rewards and the underestimation of risks and potential punishments.
