Both stressful life events (SLES) and neural correlates of learning [specifically, a key mediator of adaptive learning in the brain, namely the ventral striatal representation of prediction errors (PE)] have been shown to be associated with individual differences in fluid IQ. Here, we examine the interaction between adaptive learning signals (using a well-characterized probabilistic reversal learning task in combination with fMRI) and SLES on fluid IQ measures. We find that the correlation between ventral striatal BOLD PE and fluid IQ, which we have previously reported, is quantitatively modulated by the amount of reported SLES. Thus, after experiencing adversity, basic neuronal learning signatures appear to align more closely with a general measure of flexible learning (fluid IQ), a finding complementing studies on the effects of acute stress on learning. The results suggest that an understanding of the neurobiological correlates of trait variables like fluid IQ needs to take socioemotional influences such as chronic stress into account.}, language = {en} } @misc{KaminskiSchlagenhaufRappetal.2018, author = {Kaminski, Jakob and Schlagenhauf, Florian and Rapp, Michael Armin and Awasthi, Swapnil and Ruggeri, Barbara and Deserno, Lorenz and Laura, Daedelow and Banaschewski, Tobias and Bokde, Arun and Quinlan, Erin Burke and Buechel, Christian and Bromberg, Uli and Desrivieres, Sylvane and Flor, Herta and Frouin, Vincent and Garavan, Hugh and Gowland, Penny and Ittermann, Bernd and Martinot, Jean-Luc and Martinot, Marie-Laure Paillere and Nees, Frauke and Orfanos, Dimitri Papadopoulos and Paus, Tomas and Poustka, Luise and Smolka, Michael and Froehner, Juliane and Walter, Henrik and Whelan, Robert and Ripke, Stephan and Schumann, Gunter and Heinz, Andreas}, title = {Variance in Dopaminergic Markers}, series = {Biological psychiatry : a journal of psychiatric neuroscience and therapeutics ; a publication of the Society of Biological Psychiatry}, volume = {83}, journal = {Biological psychiatry : a journal of psychiatric neuroscience and therapeutics ; a publication of the Society of Biological Psychiatry}, number = {9}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {New York}, organization = {IMAGEN Consortium}, issn = {0006-3223}, doi = {10.1016/j.biopsych.2018.02.311}, pages = {S118 -- S118}, year = {2018}, language = {en} }
