The Brain Volume of NAcc Might Predict Individual FinancialRisk Preference

Both mammal neurochemical and human imaging studies suggested that the nucleus accumbens(NAcc) could affect risk preference by expecting risk benefits.However,few studies addressed the relationship between individual financial risk preference and the NAcc structure in the brain.In this study,the contribution of the NAcc volume and individual financial risk preference was examined by the domain specific risk taking scale and FIRST imaging tool(FMRIB's integrated registration and segmentation tool).The result suggested that the volume of NAcc may underlie human financial risk preference traits.
