Olanzapine, blonanserin, and aripiprazole associated with different frontostriatal reward system activation in patients with schizophrenia

The “Monetary Incentive Delay” (MID) task assesses the dopaminergic reward system using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Knutson and colleagues developed this experimental paradigm to measure activation of frontostriatal networks including the ventral striatum (VS) and the medial prefro ntal cortex (MPFC) during the presentation of stimuli predicting monetary gains or losses (Knutson et al., 2000).
