The predictive value of neural reward processing in exposure therapy outcome: Results from a randomized controlled trial

ConclusionResults indicate that individual differences in reward sensitivity can specifically predict exposure therapy outcome. Although activation in regions of interest were not related to therapy outcome, regions involved in attentional processing of reward cues were predictive of phobic symptom change following exposure therapy but not PMR.
