The use of functional neuroimaging has been an extremely fruitful avenue for investigating the neural basis human reward function. This approach included identification potential neurobiological mechanisms psychiatric disease and examination environmental, experiential, biological factors that may contribute to risk via effects on system. However, a central largely unexamined assumption much this research is function individual difference characteristic relatively stable trait-like over time.
